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 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 . Federal Aviation Administration it should be handled only by personnel wearing proper protective clothing as it can cause cancer.
