A terrorist who will blow himself up would also infect himself with a deadly disease so that he could spread it around. It would not be improbable or difficult for a group of dedicated terrorists who are still under western radar to travel to areas where ebola is rampant, get themselves infected, and then travel to a western country under different identities to avoid revealing their recent itinerary in order to spread the disease. The latency period of ebola would give any such human biological bomb several days at least in which to contract the disease and then move undetected into target country.
A really well organized biological terrorism effort on this principle would first embed a cell of dedicated terrorists in the target country. The human biological bomb coming to the country from infected areas would first meet the local cell surreptitiously to spread the disease to the cell, the cell would then travel around to spread the disease. This would make it even more difficult for the authority to trace the origin of the disease and implement effective quarantine measures.
