 "Anthrax is proving a very effective weapon of terror, simply by the mass panic it is causing. But look at the facts...In two weeks, one person has died of anthrax and 1,000 in car accidents...The source of the letters and the anthrax within them is still not known and may yet prove to be the work of a deranged individual rather than a global terrorist conspiracy. Meanwhile, America has been hit by almost 2,500 false alarms and hoaxes which have caused more disruption than the letters themselves...We need to remember that chemical and biological weapons remain a potentially high consequence, but (still) very low probability weapon of choice for terrorists. However, as a weapon of fear and panic, bio-chemical terrorism may now become the weapon of choice for any group seeking to terrorise its enemies."<ref>BBC News UK 19 October, 2001 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1608377.stm</ref>
