US Justice Department says those spreading coronavirus in the country on purpose will be charged as terrorists.
Jeffrey Rosen made the comment as the fast growing pandemic was spreading thoughout the country, prompting fears of an economic recession.
“Because coronavirus appears to meet the statutory definition of a ‘biological agent’… such acts potentially could implicate the Nation’s terrorism-related statutes,” Rosen said. “Threats or attempts to use covid-19 as a weapon against Americans will not be tolerated.”
