TERRORISM
The U.S. Code and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
define Terrorism as:
"The Unlawful use of force or violence against persons
or property to intimidate
or coerce a government,
the civilian population,
or any segment thereof,
in furtherance of political or social objectives."
From
Terrorism in the United States
Bio-Terrorism is the intentional use of microorganisms
or toxins derived from living organisms
to produce disease and or death in
Humans, Animals, or Plants.
BIO-TERRORISM MYTHS:
-
There is nothing we can do to prevent
an attack
-
There is no way to protect ourselves
against bio-weapons agents
-
Biological weapons are universally
fatal to those exposed
-
It won't happen to us
-
Terrorists only attack heavily
populated, highly visible areas
