Small pox isn’t the best weapon for bio-terrorism. It would be easier for the jihadists to infect suicide carriers with Ebola and put them on planes bound for the US and Western Europe before they developed symptoms. Plane loads of passengers would be infected and continue to spread the disease as they took connecting flights.

Ebola is completely ineffective, about as useful for a bioweapon as stinkbombs.

The rumored biopreparat bloodpox, though, from the Aralsk incident, was said to have successfully spliced ebola into a smallpox transporter.
