magical forecast by the U.S. government - who would have guessed...

the WMD (Weapon of MassDestruction) warns:

Report: Terrorists Could Use WMD By 2013

It is "more likely than not" that a weapon of mass destruction — specifically a biological weapon that could include something like the deadly anthrax bacteria — will be used in a terrorist attack by the end of 2013.

That's the conclusion of a high-powered commission created by Congress, which has just released its report, titled "World at Risk."

The commission, chaired by retired Democratic Sen. Bob Graham, says the report is meant to neither frighten nor reassure Americans, but emphasize that the U.S. government is not doing enough to adapt to the growing risk of weapons of mass destruction.

The commission says the risks are growing faster than the government's defenses. The margin of safety, its members say, is shrinking, not growing.

Biological Attack More Likely

The commission focused on nuclear and biological weapons, saying they posed the "greatest evil." But since there are more controls on both nuclear weapons and materials, the commission says the threat of a biological terror attack is more likely than a nuclear one.

The U.S. government has focused its efforts on reducing nuclear proliferation — including securing Russian sites — the report says. But federal officials have placed too little emphasis on prevention of a biological attack.

here some news in the mass media of course:
