n 1984, an Oregon cult calling themselves the “Rajneeshees” began to have regular conflicts with the small town that was the home of their rapidly expanding commune. The 7,000 member cult had grown so large that they had their own zip code, and unsettled neighbors by patrolling their compound with Uzis and a Jeep mounted with a .30 caliber machine gun. After the city denied their building permits, the cult decided that they were going to take over the local government. After other plans failed, they decided the best route was to contaminate 10 salad bars in popular local restaurants with salmonella in order to suppress the vote. 751 people became ill, 45 were hospitalized, but thankfully no one died. This attack is still recognized as the largest ______ attack in American history.
A. terrorism
B. bioterrorism
C. cyberterrorism
D. poison terrorism
B. bioterrorism
