The Anthrax attacks in 1993 by the Aum Shinrikyo and, in 2001, the Amerithrax Case, brought the realization that the threats from biological attack were far from over, but had changed from what we traditionally thought they were. From the Soviet “BioPreparat”, we are now confronted with home-grown, terrorist, and other non-state actors experimenting with various forms of bio-weapons. Dr. Kimothy Smith, who has more than 25 years of experience working in Public Health and Biodefense. has served with the Department of Homeland Security and as a Senior Advisor for International Biodefense to the U.S. State Department. His presentation of Biowarfare to the National Security Forum was riveting. We thought you might like to peruse the slides he used in his PowerPoint talk.
