Abstract

Bioterrorism has been a growing security concern even though this topic does not receive as much attention as other topics such as nuclear proliferation. In order to understand the bioterrorist threat, this article will try to address the reasons behind the lack of bioterrorist attacks in recent years and the factors that are eroding these same restrictions. Finally, it is also important to know which terrorist groups are more willing to perform bioterrorist attacks.
