anthrax: it was a homegrown, US Army stash

[Doug Millison]

Instead of Iraq, or anywhere else, it looks as if the anthrax came from the
US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease) at Fort Detrick
in Maryland, according to Le monde. It would appear there's no need to
attack Iraq in order to destroy source of the anthrax that was used in the
terrorist attacks here in the US this fall.

I doubt that Bush will decide to bomb Fort Detrick, but it will be
interesting to see if they continue to use this anthrax issue as a reason
to attack Iraq or some other country.

L'anthrax des bioterroristes proviendrait des laboratoires de l'armée
américaine

Aux Etats-Unis, l'enquête menée sur l'origine de l'anthrax commence à
donner des résultats. Cinq laboratoires, ayant obtenu des échantillons d'un
centre de recherche de l'armée américaine sur les maladies infectieuses,
sont considérés comme pouvant être la source des bactéries.
