world and rises the danger of bioterrorism. This mini review includes terror, terrorism and the potential danger or treat of bioterrorism. And also
biological agents that could be sweated, last developments in novel technologies, detecting and/or controlling the biological treat. Terror; an event
that been brought into action. Terrorism, on the other hand, describes the
method has followed to realize the strategy or ideology of terrorism to achieve its religious, political or economic goals. The causes of terrorism are
very diverse. For example it can be economic, psychological, ethnic, geopolitical and socio-cultural. The main types of terrorism; individual terrorism, supranational terrorism, biological terrorism, narco-terrorism, counter-state terrorism and global terrorism. Bioterrorism can be ideological,
religious, political or economic gain by individuals, groups or governments
and the use of biological agents cause disease or death among humanbeings, many animals and plants. Underlying purpose is to use biological pathogens, which have negative effects on people in particular and all living
things in general, as biological weapons. For example, during World War

and smallpox on prisoners in Manchuria and caused deaths. Today, proxy
wars are taking place between terrorist structures and regular armies, and
the use of biological agents as a weapon is a very strong possibility. Two
concepts emerge here; biological warfare and bioterrorism. Attacks targeting military structures are considered “biological warfare”and attacks targeting civilians are considered “bioterrorism”.
