Are terrorists trying to create genetically engineered biological agents to target certain ethnic groups?
While it is impossible to know what is happening behind closed laboratory doors worldwide, anyone trying to genetically engineer a weapon to attack Americans would encounter an incredibly tall technical challenge. America, like many other nations, is populated by a wide range of ethnic groups and there is a long history of interracial marriages that makes it extremely difficult to target just one group, much less the entire country. While some governments may attempt genetic engineering of biowarfare agents, as the USSR did by hardening some agents against antibiotic treatment, terrorists just beginning to explore bioweapons would probably find this type of advanced work to be extremely difficult.
