Bioterrorism as a foreign policy issue

Article Abstract:

The differences that set bioterrorism apart, and a number of implications for foreign policy decision makers, who ideally should be involved in planning for both the prevention and response to bioterrorism is discussed. It is important to integrate bioterrorism into foreign policy by overcoming preconceived notions regarding the responses to terrorism and combating the assumptions that bioterrorism can be handled in the same way as nuclear or chemical terrorism.

Intelligence for the homeland

Article Abstract:

The United States (U.S.) is still not adequately prepared for fighting against terrorism and other forms of foreign attack, even after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The main reasons for the gap in the defenses against the terrorists could be attributed to the inadequate homeland intelligence, which has resulted in the inability of the U.S. to detect, analyze and monitor foreign threats to the country.
