Unconventional warfare is warfare in a manner differing from that of
conventional warfare; in many cases, such unconventional
means have been deemed war crimes. Unconventional warfare involves assassination, espionage,
genocide, raiding, and terrorism, sometimes using biological weapons, chemical weapons,
and/or nuclear weapons. When referring to only biological and chemical
weapons, the term CB agents is used. Prior to World War I,
the use of military aircraft was often seen as unconventional,
and criminal.
