Incidents of bioterrorism
Following the Raccoon City outbreak, and the lead-up to and following the 2003 fall of Umbrella, the corporation's stockpile of biological weapons were released to the black market by a number of sources, including former employees, researchers, and executives. As a result, bioterror events bloomed all over the world, with a total victim rate of over one million people by 2005. By this time, General Miguel Grande of the Republic of Nagiri had become the "spokesperson" of bioterror, organizing a busines deal with Frederic Downing to purchase samples of both the "t" and "G" viruses and their respective cures for use as weapons. Though this event was eventually quelled by Leon Kennedy, Angela Miller, and Claire Redfield, a large number of victims suffered, including patrons of the Harvardville Airport, as well as several Special Forces members, and many WilPharma employess. Four years later, inhabitants of the KAZ experienced a bioterror inicident that culminated in the destruction of the populus and the death of Albert Wesker, a key figure in bioterrorism worldwide.
