"There are four major infectious agents that officials fear terrorists will turn into potent bioweapons. The first three you know — smallpox, anthrax, and the plague. The fourth? An itty bitty bacterium that wikes to wive in bunny wabbits. Don't let its host of choice fool you — tularemia is a serious disease. Humans can contract the nastiness through the bites of ticks and flies or handling the corpses of infected bunnies. Failure to cook said bunnies thoroughly will also make you sick. And that's not all. Back in 2000, 15 residents of Martha's Vineyard came down with "rabbit fever" in a single season — an outbreak thought to have started when someone ran over an infected rabbit with a lawnmower. Obviously, if an errant brush hog can transmit the disease, a terrorist with an aerosol device could wreak some serious havoc. This isn't merely the plot of a Tom Clancy novel. The United States, Russia, and Japan have all been experimenting with tularemia's use as a bioweapon since at least World War II. That's why researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are peering into the bacterium's inner workings to learn how we might fight such an outbreak. And they're finding tularemia to be a rather sneaky microbe

Those rabbits are dynamite. That said, terrorist attacks have to, you know, cause terror. They need to cause a disproportionate emotional response. A disease has to be easily spread, fast-acting, and hard to cure to be terrifying. Otherwise this is just another way terrorists could inconvenience us. There are plenty of ways they could do substantial harm without causing terror. This seems more like that than a floppy eared 9/11. |

These is either very bad for the people of Malta or it may just set them on the path to world domination. Of course a preventative strike by nations threatened by latent Maltese power using mixamitosis against the Rabbits of Mass Destruction may avert the threat. |
