The Sun reports that experts warn terrorist groups could potentially use weaponised viruses, ranging from smallpox to Ebola, to cause mass casualties. The article highlights concerns about the accessibility of dangerous pathogens and the risks posed by advances in biotechnology that might enable malicious actors to modify or deploy such agents. It too notes that while the threat remains speculative, the possibility underscores the need for continued vigilance in global health security. The piece draws a parallel to the ongoing impact of Covid-19, suggesting that future outbreaks — whether natural or man-made — could emerge with little warning, reinforcing the importance of preparedness and international cooperation in defending against biological threats.
