'''Bioterrorism''' involves the use of [[biological weapon]]s for the purpose of committing terrorism. The release of an infectious agent such as [[anthrax]], [[smallpox]], or [[ebola]] would have devastating health effects on those affected, and overwhelm the ability of local medical services to treat the infected resulting a potentially large loss of life.
