Bio weapons are designed to make large numbers of your enemy sick or to kill them, without endangering your own forces or people.
Common ones include anthrax and smallpox.
Biological weapons are by far the most unpredictable weapons of mass destruction. Something like the wind currents can render them totally ineffective. Once the agent is identifed, treatment can begin immediately.
These are uncommon in war because your own forces are equally susceptible. These are highly overrated as a weapon of mass destruction.

communicable diseases allow the disease to be passed from one to another.
droplet infection (a guy coughs, droplets of saliva are released packed with virus's etc) is an airborn disease when someone inhlaes those droplets the virus can infect....an easy way on infection. others include blood to bloos or very close intamiate touch
as far as i remeber smallpox was communicable as they quarintined those with it. a terrorist couldconvievalbly standf on top of a building and drop a sack full of money soaked in germs, when the public pick it up its full of bacteria etc.
the rusiians have crossed smallpox with ebola its reported
but your CDC i think said on the news multiple deployment of the disease would have to be used.

Ebola virus is believe to be one of them. There's also rumours on the Streptococh (god i'm sure its spell correctly) "flesh eating" bacteria as a biological weapon developped by the UK in the 80's.....
Among those I know therE's the "coaled fever" used by Saddam Hussein against Kurds civilians....

there was a post about this on the other forum, ask someone to find it, but the guy posted all the known info about the stuff, for example they could dump anthrax in the water system and then it would be in the water, or unleash the other kind that can kill up to a one mile radius of people.
spread the disease i.e. smallpox by dropping it on a populace
get a vial of it throw it on the ground in a crowded place. release it in an underground railway network....if its an inhalable disease (i.e. released attached to a fine powder or something) it can be spread like that.
or realease it into the drinking water, potentially devastating. or set up fast food resturant selling yard bird coated with a 'special coating' thats deadly
a lab technician made a mistake when handling a sample of smallpox and died. i assumehe dropped a sample of it or a nedle stick injury (i.e stabbed himself with the needle)

theres no guarantee everyone would be affected, the intial deployment of an airborne virus is only really effective if nicely spread out above in the air....dropping it in one place isnt as effective i think.....a dude said on TV even if u had enough anthrax to kill L.A. if u couldnt deleiver it properly it would be futile
you'd need a disease that has a high incubation period for maximum fatalities else quarantining would isolate the disease fairly quickly. you would also need a virus that is extremely resilient and infectious over long ranges (not that many) plus very pathogenic.
water supplies are very well guarded/analysed...
but....if a virus can be found it can wreak havoc on a population
foot and mouth for instance, highly inectious and spreadble for miles by air by just a few cases hundreds of cases around britain were found
a species of parasetic fly which fed on cattle was wiped of the face of this earth by a human made virus....
if u could get all these factors right i dont see why. but as terroists can they use nerve gases etc...more immeadiate results

plus you would need to smuggle the stuff in....
however some students went to an island used for anthrax tests in WW2 (off limits ever since) collected a sample and left it in parliment to freak out ministers... but that was UK-UK
its fairly hardto make this stuff, transport it safely then use it i would have thought.but if they can do sarin much cheaper (nerve gas) theyd probably use that
