Chemical and Biological Weapons -
anthrax and ricin |
Since the post-9/11
anthrax attacks in America and the discovery of ricin in a flat
in London, many in the Western world have expressed fear of
these potential weapons. Yet while some scientists argue that
anthrax and ricin are not effective as weapons of mass destruction,
others claim
that these are ideal weapons for modern terrorists. How should
governments, and the media, respond? |
