Abstract

Agro-terrorism is not a new threat among terrorist activities but one which was not stressed adequately in many countries. Agro terrorism is an assault-type used in WW-I, which is, in its true meaning, to infect the animals and crops intentionally with disease aiming to interrupt economic stability, causing panic and fear in the public. For this purpose, it is necessary to increase safety precautions, define critical situations for agro assaults, apply risk reduction strategies, and increase inter-organization cooperation. It is also essential to show a proactive approach in police activities, establish first responder teams for the high-risk zones, and include agriculture engineers, veterinarians, police force, and crime scene investigators. In short, agro assaults are real and can show themselves abruptly. The important thing here is to transfer this reality into an acceptable risk by protective measurements, inter-organization cooperation, and technical intelligence.
