| <br>Bioterrorism is defined as using “using biological agents to inflict disease and/ or death on humans, animals or plants, and motivations for pursuing such an attack could have religious, political, or criminal motivations.”<ref name=s1>[https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/CMR.14.2.364-381.2001 Klietmann, W., & Ruoff, K.

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 14(2).]</ref> People that plan and perform bioterrorism attacks could also be a part of nationalist, separatist, or apocalyptic cult groups.<ref name=s2>[http://clsjournal.ascls.org/content/ascls/15/1/6.full.pdf Poupard J.

More recently in 1984, a cult following the Rajneeshee movement poisoned a restaurant in Oregon with Salmonella bacteria because they had political motives to win an election. Unlike other types of terror attacks, bioterrorism has the unique ability to go undetected for a severe length of time, in which infected individuals can spread the agent even further, before the attack event is even detected.<br><br>The insertion code consists of:
