	Howstuffworks "How Biological and Chemical Warfare Works"
		During the gulf war, the threat of Iraqi chemical and biological weapons felt very real, because it was known that Iraq had done extensive research on these weapons.
		Significant treaties prohibiting biological and chemical weapons, starting as early as the 1925 Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare, have been signed by most nations of the world.
		That is where the threat of chemical and biological weapons used in random attacks on innocent civilian populations comes from.

	All the Virology on the WWW - Biological Weapons and Warfare
		The Federation of American Scientists Chemical and Biological Arms Control Program covers all aspects of chemical and biological weapons and their control, but concentrates, at present, on efforts to prevent the development and use of biological weapons (BW) and the further proliferation of BW programs.
		The Chemical and Biological Arms Control Institute is a nonprofit corporation established to promote the goals of arms control and nonproliferation, with a special, although not exclusive focus on the elimination of chemical and biological weapons.
		The Biological Weapons Convention requires Parties not to develop, produce, stockpile, or acquire biological agents or toxins "of types and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic, protective, and other peaceful purposes," as well as weapons and means of delivery.

	Biological War Emerging Diseases: The Coming Plague
		This particular epidemic was catastrophically magnified by improved transportation available at the turn of the century and by massive war time population dislocations.
		It is believed that active biological weapons programs are now being conducted in a number of countries.
		Given a world that is increasingly overpopulated, poverty-stricken, divided and hostile, with mass terrorism and mailed anthrax a fact of life rather than a theoretical consideration, the reality of this threat becomes clear.

	The Threat of Silent War
		Biological weapons are the older silent killers of war.
		Biological weapons can be considered the most dangerous weapon next to the atom bomb.
		So the terrorists of the world have been know to use the occasional biological and chemical weapon to aid in them in their war against their government.

	frontline: plague war
		Today, there are at least ten nations in the world with the ability to produce biological weapons.
		Cheap and now technologically possible to produce and refine into weapons of mass destruction, biological warfare has the potential to do as much damage to civilian populations as nuclear weapons.
		FRONTLINE presents new evidence culled from scientists, intelligence agencies, and policymakers to examine the threat biological warfare poses to world security and the responses the U.S. is frantically developing.

	Preface - Biological War
		This high percentage of deaths occurred despite the fact that all of the infected patients were treated with the super powerful and costly antibiotic, Cipro, reputed to be the best therapy conventional medicine has to offer against this fatal disease.
		Given these results, it is clear that the tolls of biological, toxicological or nuclear terrorism will be astronomical should future attacks occur.
		Because immune and detoxifying organs charged with combating biological and chemical assaults possess these energetic aspects too, they are able to be turned on by these signals and act against specific noxious agents promptly and efficiently.

	BIOLOGICAL WARFARE
		While a biological attack could result in a made-made epidemic of unprecedented scale, the classical principles of clinical medicine and epidemiology would apply.
		In the aftermath of a biological attack, dermatologists could play a critical role in recognizing the differential diagnosis of an epidemic exanthem and alerting public health officials, leading to prompt medical and public health interventions, hopefully preventing wide-spread mortality.
		‘Biological Warfare’ (BW) is defined as the ’employment of biological agents to produce casualties in man or animals or damage to plants.’[91] An early BW attack took place in the Black Sea port of Kaffa (now Feodossia, Ukraine) in 1346.

	Biological Warfare : History, Biological War, World War 2
		The biological pioneers in World War 2 (the second in the popular continuing series) were the Japanese.
		Applying the efficiency, thoroughness and concern for quality that are their cultural hallmarks, the Japanese pioneered the fundamental technology that ensured the purity and potency of weaponized biological agents.
		After the war the United States pardoned the senior members of Unit 731 and gratefully took their weapons and research results.

	WorldNetDaily: Feds' involvement in anthrax experiments
		Following the end of World War II, the United States made a determined decision — in response to the steady flow of Cold War intelligence asserting that the Russians were aggressively developing an offensive biological weapons program — to increase America's biological warfare capacity rather than curtail it.
		Remarkably, despite his being wanted for war crimes and strong suspicions that he was acting as a double agent for the Russians, Schreiber was hired to work with the U.S. Army's Counter Intelligence Corps.
		The use of biological weapons, including anthrax bombs, by the U.S. during the Korean War is a continuing subject of heated controversy — that biological weapons were designated a top priority by the Joint Chiefs of Staff is not.

		He is one of tens of thousands of Gulf War vets who have been diagnosed with a fistful of illnesses attributed to his service in the Gulf War.
		Parker confirms that his unit found numerous positive samples of biological organisms that couldn’t be analysed and identified on the battlefield.
		Other biological agents provided by the US to Saddam Hussein’s biological warfare programme included histoplasma capsulatum, which can cause symptoms resembling tuberculosis and lead to the enlargement of the liver and spleen as well as anaemia and skin disease - symptoms that many Veterans now exhibit.
