Abstract

With the turn of the new millennium, a new kind of warfare has evolved--bioterrorism. After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, every country in the world is now living under the shadow of an unknown yet deadly enemy--biological weapons. Every individual has suddenly become very vulnerable to this new weapon, which can strike anybody at any time without any warning. It is, therefore, important that we take a close look at this new weapon, so that we can take appropriate measures to shield ourselves from this deadly enemy.
