How terrorists tried to make disease their weapon
On September 18, 2001, a week after a series of terrorist attacks in the United States, letters with anthrax spores were mailed to the reception rooms of several congressmen and editors. 22 people were infected, five of them died. The investigation was called Amerithrax (anthrax means anthrax). But it was far from the first time a disease had been weaponized, or even the most massive bioterrorist attack in the history of the United States.
