“The strategies to introduce biological weapons (BW) invasive species are varied. These strategies include: smuggling organisms in target nations; aerial dispersal of organisms (e.g. seeds, insects, microbes, viruses, fungal spores); migrating birds or insects; introduction of a vector to transport the introduced organisms and infect target crops or animals; human carriers dispersing organisms by roadsides or open fields or forests; or bio cruise-the technique of using cruise missile technology (aka unmanned aerial vehicles) to deliver and disperse BW agents (e.g. virus, fungal spores, bacteria, even insects) at precise targeted sites”, according to the paper.
A frightening research paper has been put online recently in the form of a doctoral dissertation that is causing many people to take notice.
It deal with biological weapons (BW) – in the form of viruses, diseases, pathogens, including vectors (insects) and plant species being used in warfare to attack a nation’s food supply, population and economy.
It is not exactly a new idea – using bugs and plants to wage war, by the way this guy put it all together has people particularly worried.
The fear is that al-Qaida and other terrorists groups will eventually use the techniques and examples to launch a devastating attack.
One in which the nation may very well never fully recover (see article: “Wait ’til al-Qaida gets hold of some bugs! Researcher warns of very real threat to economy, lives from biological weapons,” : Wait ’til al-Qaida gets hold of some <I>bugs!</i>http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=353373#ixzz1aOJSWT9H

It should be noted that using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology virtually assures accurate delivery to targeted fields…”
Lawrence F. Roberge – Doctoral Dissertation “Introduced Spieces as a form of Biological weapon” (pg 9) http://www.wnd.com/files/2011/10/AIU-DISSERTATION-ROBERGE-2011.pdf
“It must not be overlooked that any introduced organism used as a biological weapon could be genetically engineered to possess such properties as enhanced virulence, resistance to pesticides, insecticides or antibiotics, enhanced reproduction rates, or expression of new toxins or vaccine evading antigens.” Roberge suggested.
Can it get any scarier?
The paper suggests the targets of a BW attack could be food resources (either crops or livestock).
In one section Reoberge discusses how BW could be directed at biofuel crops to trigger a biofuel shortage in the target nation.
It also seems the U.S. military is very interested in such weapons.
