Possible Bioterrorism incident
A bioterrorism incident is an event during which an
infectious or chemical agent has been used to threaten harm to an
individual(s). For example, this may occur when a person receives a
letter labeled with or mentioning the name of a possible bioterrorist
chemical or biologic agent (e.g. anthrax) or a telephone caller
threatens to use such an agent as a weapon. Use or threatened use of any
chemical or biologic agent as a weapon is a federal crime and will be
thoroughly investigated and prosecuted by the FBI and police
departments.
