Bioterrorist threat and Ebola (DIEEEO13-2015)

There are comments on the Internet concerning the interest of jihadist’s organizations to use the Ebola virus in terrorist attacks. For that, they would be willing to use volunteers ("Ebola martyrs") or dirty bombs to spread the virus. For which they would have to have passed a series of milestones for success (procurement, production, testing and dissemination).
Our advantage is that it is not as simple as they arise. But while reaching operational capability of dissemination, they try to create a climate of social alarm.
Meanwhile we have to be vigilant for disease’s outbreaks, enabling surveillance systems to analyze the situation. On the other hand, the priority is to enhance the health education of the population and to enhance the public health system to fight diseases like Ebola.
