This makes a total of 6 Chinese nationals caught trying to smuggle in substances that can be used as bioweapons:

Where in the article does is say that the substances can be used as bioweapons?

From the description (and other news coverage), it appears they were smuggling in roundworms that are used in research. That's a crime, of course, because we have strict regulation on importing various animals and insects in order to prevent nuisance species and pests. But it doesn't make the materials "bioweapons," or engaging in that kind of smuggling "bioterror."

Is there something in there that specifically claims that these are substances that can be used as bioweapons, or that this has anything to do with bioterror?
