Description
For years experts have been warning that discontents of all stripes might make disease part of the arsenal of terror. Of all the deadly microbes that might be used by terrorists there is one that is especially formidable: smallpox. Once a major scourge of humanity, deadly smallpox was vanquished in 1977. But some experts worry that smallpox cultures could have fallen, or have the potential to fall, into the hands of terrorists. If this material was used to infect a single human, it could launch a plague. A look at the disease and the people who might combat it, should it return.
