I don't know how many have checked this out, but there are a lot of answers to the questions you're asking about the intentions of the enemy. The more we can learn about them outside of news articles, the better we'll understand how they may be plotting. Even though the primary weapon here is anthrax, it gives insight into their operations. This is only part of the TOC.
