The prospect of germ terrorism has arrived
2020-05-30
[Washington Times] It is a possibility that world leaders may not want to address quite yet — but the topic has now entered the global discourse.

"Council of Europe security experts have warned of the danger of terrorist attacks with biological weapons in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic," reports the Funke Media Group, a German news syndicate.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how vulnerable modern societies are to viral infections and their shock potential," the council’s Committee on Counter-Terrorism said in a statement Monday, according to the German news group.

#6  I recall the anthrax hysteria as well. I only mentioned ISIS & Al-Qaeda as whenever the US government needs to stir up some hysteria, the gum'ment will always have those guys in the top drawer, ready to pull out if need be.

#5  If it were easy, Al Qaeda would have done it back when they were sending cadres to Saddam Hussein’s Salman Pak terrorist training facility. We’ve been concerned about the possibility as long as I’ve been hanging out here. But as far as I’m aware, none of them have got farther than refining some ricin, though in Afghanistan they had great fun gassing dogs in enclosed containers.

Shooting up and blowing up proved far easier as terror tools.

Do I misremember?

#3   Like the anthrax attacks,...

Back when that happened, I wrote Mueller's involvement as incompetence. Maybe it's time to rethink that in light of more recent events. Once you add in the attempted coup against the President and China's espionage and influence-buying in media and academia, things start to smell a bit.

#2  Like the anthrax attacks, the investigation of which traitor Mueller drove into a ditch in order to avoid finding any foreign involvement.
