Anthrax en terrorisme??? Volgens Yahoo: "``This is a very, very low risk to public health,'' Guinn said." http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011013/ts/anthrax_nevada_4.html Volgens The Observer: "'Making anthrax, on its own, isn't so difficult,' one senior US intelligence source said. 'But it only begins to become effective as a biological weapon if they can be made the right size to breathe in. If you can't get airborne infectivity, you can't use it as a weapon. That is extremely difficult. There is very little leeway. Most spores are either too big to be suspended in air, or too small to lodge on the lining of the lungs.'" http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,573893,00.html Volgens Nandotimes: "Malaysia's government pledged Sunday to prosecute anyone found responsible for an anthrax-tainted letter apparently mailed from the Southeast Asian nation to a Microsoft office in Nevada." http://www.nandotimes.com/world/story/136413p-1387043c.html Maar uiteindelijk denk ik dat het volgende nog wel het dichtste bij de waarheid komt: "But Northern Arizona University researcher, Paul Keim, who also obtained a sample, said the anthrax strain was a harmless one imported from the United States and designed for use as a vaccine for cattle, the Daily Yomiuri newspaper reported." - over een aanval met Anthrax door de 'Aum Supreme Truth cult' (sarin, Tokyo, je weet wel). http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=news&cat=1&id=114995 Terrorisme? Nee. -Leon. ______________________________________________________ * Verspreid via nettime-nl.
