Are the words ‘ways,’ ‘using,’ and ‘tactics’ in my sentence not redundant? Do they not mean the same thing?

Can I revise the sentence as follows?

Terrorists could have different tactics (of/in) using nuclear materials like attacking nuclear facilities, purchasing or building nuclear weapons, or diffusing radioactive materials.
