The Benfield Hazard Research Centre has just published a new working paper
on 'Plague and bio-terrorism' by Dr Graham Twigg, Centre for Metropolitan
History, University of London. Using historical and epidemiological
evidence, the paper argues that plague has serious limitations for
terrorists as a potential weapon of mass destruction, even though it could
cause fear and panic.
This paper and the other 9 papers in the Benfield Hazard Research Centre's
series of working papers in disaster studies can be found at:
