Most countries have signed agreements that biological agents will not be used in warfare so biological warfare is unlikely especially given that some of the countries who are big believers in no biowarfare are nuclear capable. Bioterrorism is more likely as people acting independently of government/state can do what they feel fit. Also the word "terrorism" gives a clue as to the objective. The threat of bioterrorism achieves the goal of terrorising even if the terrorists lack the capablility of producing a weapon which would cause serious harm. At present the world is "terrorised" by the threat of a naturally occurring strain of the flu virus the idea of bioterrorism can easily feed off these ideas and create conspiracy theories and terror.
