because of tourism look at how far afield it has spread even if its not all that dangerous

If it's tourism they are after, why not target the London Underground? There may be thousands of tourists in Mexico, but there are probably (at any given moment) at least 10s of thousand of tourists in the London Underground system, and in a nice, closed system as well (increases the chances of infection). Not to mention the fact that it has direct links with one of the world's busiest international airports, and the sheer amount of people on the system would make it difficult to track who deployed the virus.
Combine that with the fact the a lot of terrorist groups appear to think of us as America's pet, so any such attack could easily be linked to terrorism.
