News In Brief Tuesday Bioterrorism may pose threat to U.S. Bioterrorism could pose a threat to the United States in the 21st century, Dr. Tam Garland, a re search associate of toxicology said. Garland is a moderator for ProMed, which reports outbreaks and studies of emerging diseases in more than 100 countries. Garland said livestock, crops and water supplies could be potential targets for bioterrorist attacks, which could disrupt food supplies in some regions for weeks or months. Agencies such as the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Ser vice, the Texas Department of Health and the Texas Animal Health Commission have tried to address problems associated with bioterrorism and have created emergency-response teams. Garland said she does not want to scare people, but does want people to know bioterrorism is a serious problem.
