BIOLOGICAL TERRORISM
Produced by Chris Bullock
---------------------------------------------------------
ON-AIR PROMO:
How many scientists does it take to scare everyone? Three. One to say
it's possible to kill more people with better bugs. Another to make the
bugs that do it, and a third to tell a terrorist exactly how to release them.
Nervous? Well, it's a fact of life and better to get real about biological
weapons than be .a dead ostrich?
Background Briefing, this Sunday morning after the news at 9.
---------------------------
PRODUCER's SUPPLEMENT:
The threat posed by the destructive combination of deadly germs and
terrorism is by no means new. In many respects, it predates nuclear warfare.
But the science of germs has become much more sophisticated and sinister
and, in combination with terrorism, has more lethal potential.
Hundreds of the world's leading microbiologists and virologists recently
gathered in Sydney to talk about what they call the 'dark science'.
