Strong evidence now suggests that biological and chemical weapons were secretly tested in Iraq and the former Soviet Union decades ago, and the new information will not put American fears of bioterrorism to rest. United Nations Special Commission inspectors in Iraq believe that Iraqi scientists "certainly have produced and weaponized anthrax, and they have manufactured botulinum toxin, which causes muscle paralysis and death" (Goldberg 73). Saddam Hussein's purpose in developing such weapons is not completely clear, but the Iraqi military used chemical weapons on Kurdish towns in 1988, killing many thousands of people--and Dr. Christine Gosden, a British geneticist who has studied the victims of those attacks, believes that "the Kurds were for practice" (qtd. in Goldberg 75). On top of this information, a 2002 report has recently concluded that Soviet germ warfare tests in the 1970s released airborne smallpox germs that killed three people and infected some who had previously been vaccinated. Terrorism experts noted that "the blowing of germs in the wind suggested that a contemporary smallpox threat could be harder to combat and contain" than previously thought (Broad and Miller A6). To Americans alarmed by discussions of possible bioterrorist attacks, such reports are anything but reassuring.
