| Source Terrorist | Rationale | Probability Factor |
| Iranian | Pure hatred of America, Britain and many European nations, the common Islamic extremist view to killing infidels and the purposeful mis-interpretation of the Koran and other holy works, combined with the avid support and driven byf various hardline clerics who remain in power in Iran as well as festering anti-American dissent and anger over U.S. military activities in the Middle East (for instance bombing of Iraq, support of Israel, and now the bombing of Afghanistan). There are a large number of secular schools whose curricula include anti-western and specific anti-American teachings of hate and destruction. | Cutaneous Anthrax: 99%
Weapons Grade Inhalation Anthrax: 97% Natural based Inhalation Anthrax: 99% Other Bio-Agents: 98% Chemical Agents: 99% |
| Iraqi | Pure hatred of America, Britain and many European nations, the common Islamic extremist view to killing infidels and the purposeful mis-interpretation of the Koran and other holy works, combined with the avid support, funding and direction of Suddam Hussein; provide a solid history of manufacturing and stockpiling both bio and chemical agents; provide a clear possibility of Iraqi participation in bio-terror in the U.S. Almost every secular school features curricula that include anti-western and specific anti-American teachings of hate and destruction. | Cutaneous Anthrax: 95%
Weapons Grade Inhalation Anthrax: 95% Natural based Inhalation Anthrax: 95% Other Bio-Agents: 95% Chemical Agents: 95% |
| Hezbollah | Lebanese or Syrian support might provide the source of materials used by a Hezbollah agent. The motivation factor is Pure hatred of America, Britain and many European nations, the common Islamic extremist view to killing infidels and the purposeful mis-interpretation of the Koran and other holy works, combined with the avid support and perhaps driven by other proven terrorist elements (PFLP, PLO, many many others) as well as festering anti-American dissent and anger over U.S. military activities in the Middle East (for instance bombing of Iraq, support of Israel, and now the bombing of Afghanistan). There are a large number of secular schools in both Lebanon and Syria whose curricula include anti-western and specific anti-American teachings of hate and destruction. The same is true of many secular schools in the occupied terroritories of Israel. | Subcutaneous Anthrax: 85%
Weapons Grade Inhalation Anthrax: 50% Natural based Inhalation anthrax: 85% Other bio agents: 60% Chemical Agents: 60% Note: Ratings are predicated on an outside source of agents, we don't believe Palestinians can hide the NBC agent manufactuing from Isreal |
| Al Qaida | Typically supported in Afghanistan with aid from Pakistan. Pure
hatred of America, Britain and many European nations, the common Islamic
extremist view to killing infidels and the purposeful mis-interpretation
of the Koran and other holy works, combined with the avid support and driven
by long time terrorist leaders such as Dr. Ayman
Al-Zawahari, and Osama Bin Laden as well as festering anti-American dissent and anger over U.S. military activities in the Middle East (for instance bombing of Iraq, support of Israel, and now the bombing of Afghanistan). Much of the original Taliban support is from Pakistan where still today a large number of secular studies include anti-western and specific anti-American teachings of hate and destruction. |
Cutaneous Anthrax: 85%
Weapons Grade Inhalation Anthrax: 65% Natural based Inhalation anthrax: 75% Other Bio-Agents: 75% Chemical Agents: 85% Note: Ratings are predicated on an outside source of agents, we don't believe Al Qaida could hide the NBC agent manufactuing. However, what is found by U.S. Special Forces troops in the weeks following the onset of ground assaults in Afghanistan may indicate otherwise. Possible sources could be Pakistan, Iraq, or possibly Iran, however it is not clear how much support Osama Bin Laden has in Iran. |
| Domestic | Right wing militias in the U.S. have spoken often of a real revenge against liberals who have bespoiled the country and killed people the extremists identify with, people such as Randy Weaver's Wife at Ruby Ridge or The Koresh followers at Waco, Texas. One of the worst fears of anti-domestic terror teams is the possibility of a major international terrorist elements teaming up with a particulary violent domestic terrorist to provide weapons unavailable to the domestic terrorist (automatic weapons, bio or chemical agents). | Cutaneous Anthrax: 95%
Weapons Grade Inhalation Anthrax: 25% Natural based Inhalation Anthrax: 75% Other Bio-Agents: 25% Chemical Agents: 25% Note: Ratings jump to 95% if the right foreign agents provide material. Ratings do not include domestic ethnic organizations with increasing terrorist-like activities. |
