Bioweapons Trafficking

Abstract

The goal of this research is to explore the potential for a terrorist group to use a biological agent to attack the United States. First, I will provide an overview of the utility of bioweapons. Second, I will examine the abilities of terrorist groups to produce bioweapons, and third, I will analyze the ease with which they may transport bioweapons into the United States. All research is limited to that available in the public domain, commonly called open source intelligence.
