The concept of biological warfare and real biological attacks

In the current military-political context, with the Cold War having ended, we find ourselves in full anti-terror war, in which Romania is a direct participant, as a member of N.A.T.O. and the E.U., and the issue of biological warfare and bioterrorism is again highly topical but bearing other valences. There is information that there are still laboratories and plants specializing in the research and manufacture of biological weapons. Most of the results of such research are not intended to be published; however, a number of research guidelines that testify to the trends in the improvement of biological weapons and their means of use can be deduced from the data published by researchers from several research institutes. We believe that the threats posed by bioterrorism are real and that it is mandatory to be prepared at any time to prevent, combat and liquidate the consequences of “bio-chem” attacks, respectively the management of the consequences.
