Coronavirus: global alert over rising ISIS bioterrorism threat
Security experts raise concerns that extremist groups have more interest in using deadly pathogens as weapons
Security officials detected increasing interest from ISIS members in the use of biological weapons during the coronavirus pandemic, they said.
The death toll caused by the virus and its crippling of the global economy have put security services on alert for bioterrorism.
The US Department of Homeland Security said extremists made “bioterrorism a popular topic among themselves”.
