MacKenzie, Debora. "Bioterrorism Special Report: Bioarmageddon," New Scientist, [London], 157,
September 19, 1998, 4-7.
Taking as a given that sooner or later there is going to be a biological attack on a major city, the article
discusses various scenarios. With bioweapons so readily available, it asks how governments can protect
their citizens from a terrorist armed with anthrax, smallpox, or plague. It notes that novel technologies are
needed for civilian defense. However, in Europe disease surveillance is only beginning to be organized on
the continent-wide scale needed to track a biological emergency. One answer discussed at a Stockholm
conference would be for hospitals to have the type of high-tech detectors being developed to identify
airborne pathogens on the battlefield. The article also discusses devices based on antibodies, vaccines,
and the speed that is needed in responding to a bioterrorist attack.

The article questions why the United States will not allow random inspections of biotechnology
laboratories. Most governments agree that the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC)
is ineffective, because it provides no legal means to check if countries are complying. Although treaty
members are now trying to strengthen the convention to include a system of verification, the U.S.
government, under pressure from its drugs and biotechnology industries, rejects this idea. Companies fear
that such visits would expose trade secrets. The article discusses these double standards and the stalemate
in negotiations on the BTWC.

Mann, Paul. "Bin Laden Linked to Nuclear Effort," Aviation Week and Space Technology, 149, No. 15,
October 12, 1998, 58.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) alleges that a close associate of Osama bin Laden, the affluent
Saudi exile suspected in the recent terrorist bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, tried to obtain
components of nuclear weapons and enriched uranium for the purpose of developing such weapons. U.S.
District Court papers charge Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, allegedly a bin Laden lieutenant, with murder
conspiracy and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction against U.S. nationals. The allegations
against Salim, who may have helped to establish bin Laden's terrorist organization, Al Qaeda, are
discussed.

Mann, Paul. "Government/Industry Alliance Urged Against Cyber Threats," Aviation Week and Space
Technology, 149, No. 2, July 13, 1998, 65-67.
President Clinton has introduced a landmark strategy to meet the threat of cyber and other unconventional
terrorist attacks on the nation's computer systems and basic physical plants, including defense, aviation,
and telecommunications. The strategy is intended to create a government/industry alliance to fend off
computer hackers and other forms of terrorist attack on the nation's economic underpinnings. Security
experts support the president's approach. They caution, however, that the success of the strategy, which is
officially titled Presidential Decision Directive 63, will hinge on unparalleled public and private sector
cooperation.
