Sự cố gần đây của Mỹ Liên quan đến Đại lý hóa chất, vật liệu sinh học, hoặc Hoạt động khủng bố GIỚI THIỆU Hóa chất và tác nhân sinh học có hiệu quả nhất khi sử dụng vào các mục tiêu, chưa qua đào tạo hoặc không được bảo vệ và các nạn nhân. Các trang web dân sự và công dân vô tội cung cấp các mục tiêu tốt nhất cho các hoạt động khủng bố. Bất cứ nơi nào bạn sống hoặc làm việc, tốt nhất bảo vệ trực tiếp của bạn chống lại một hành động khủng bố. | 10 Recent U.S. Incidents Involving Chemical Agents Biological Materials or Terrorist Actions INTRODUCTION Chemical and biological agents are most effective when employed against untrained or unprotected targets and victims. Civilian sites and innocent citizens offer the best targets for terrorist activities. Wherever you live or work your best immediate protection against a terrorist act is a group of well-trained fully equipped and competently led first responders. On October 4 1992 an Israeli El Al Boeing 747-200F cargo plane crashed into a large apartment building in Amsterdam killing 43 people as well as four crew members aboard the aircraft. On October 30 1998 the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad said the plane contained about 50 gallons of dimethyl methylphosphonate DMMP and two other chemicals of the four required to make deadly sarin poison gas the same chemical agent used in the subway incident in Tokyo on March 20 1995. The DMMP according to the newspaper was enough to make over 500 pounds of sarin and judging from the shipping papers was traveling from Solk-atronic Chemicals in Morrisville PA to the Israeli Institute of Biological Research located in Ness Ziona near the city of Tel Aviv. The DMMP can also be used as a flame retardant in building materials but the World Health Organization states it has induced cancer in laboratory mice. The Boeing also carried 800 pounds of depleted uranium. This type of uranium emits strictly low-level radiation but according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration it should be handled only by personnel wearing proper protective clothing as it can cause cancer. Laboratory tests done in 1998 on 15 persons who were near the crash site yielded four samples with high uranium content. Israel has never admitted to making chemical weapons any nuclear capability they have is open to question. Israel signed the Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty in 1996 but it has not been ratified by the Israeli Cabinet. The Dutch started a
