Invented by nature but genetically manipulated by man, a mutation of the H5N1 virus - aka the "bird flu" - has fallen into the wrong hands. Angered by sanctions placed against its nuclear program, a rogue state is determined to release it. Their chosen method: one of the Black Widows - female suicide terrorists of Chechen descent who have the highest kill rate of any terrorist organization. By infecting her, then instructing her to detonate in the US, her body will become the real weapon, spraying the virus into a crowd.
