Next-Generation Biowarfare: Small in Scale, Sensational in Nature?
Topics
This report evaluates the changing nature of biological attacks.
Date

Conclusions

If an attack gives the impression of lethality and contagiousness, as well as the element of surprise it will inspire enough fear to alter the way a society functions.
