From Homeland Security Today:'Nearly every time we kicked down a door ... we found laptops with WMD materials'
Speaking at a Washington Institute Special Policy Forum Wednesday, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Ken Wainstein stressed that the gravest terrorism threat right now is from “terrorist organizations [acquiring] weapons of mass destruction and [using] them against us, our homeland, or our allies.”
This reality, he said, was made clear when "we went into Afghanistan and learned that Al Qaeda had been developing a program to cultivate and weaponize anthrax that could be used to kill by the hundreds or thousands … And it has been made even clearer with events in the years since …”
“Biological weapons are the most likely” terrorist WMD threat right now,” agreed Charles "Sam" Faddis, a 20-year veteran CIA officer who was a Counterterrorist Center department chief overseeing “worldwide operations against the terrorist WMD target” when he retired from the clandestine services last May.

My Comment: My brother is in the bio-tech field. His specialty is converting R&D pharmaceuticals into drugs that can be manufactured profitable.
I asked him once on how hard would it be to manufacture dangerous biological agents. His answer ..... a $1 million dollar lab and a few months.
I am sure that Al Qaeda knows this .... and they and their minions are looking at this closely. Will they manufacture this themselves .... I say why should they when they have access to many products and weapons from Pakistan's ISI Agency. Biological agents being one of them.
If the U.S. experiences a WMD attack .... it will be one of these biological agents. A chemical or a dirty bomb explosion could happen .... but for lethalness .... nothing beats using biological agents.
