Foot And Mouth Disease - Bioterrorism?
Those investigating the recent foot and mouth disease problem in Ireland are pointing towards a lab that could have been the source of the disease. They are even investigating the possibility of direct, malicious release of the disease.
Unfortunately for most bioterrorists, if true, diseases and other forms of weaponized bacteria only infect a small amount of area and don't do the drastic type of damage and death that they hope for. My gut feeling is that someone screwed up and this got accidentally dispersed into the environment. I don't think you'll find malice involved, just incompetence or at worst, apathy.
