Terrorists from al-Qaeda have been making chemical and biological weapons in Georgia’s Pankisi Gorge, French Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a world conference on bio-terrorism in Lyons that was organized by Interpol, he said that “several al-Qaeda cells have been trained in Afghanistan where they have learned to use biological agents including anthrax, ricin and botulism toxins. Later, after the fall of the Taliban regime, those groups continued their experiments in the Pankisi Gorge, on the territory of Georgia, bordering Chechnya,” Interfax news agency reported.

The minister added that al-Qaeda terrorists “were able to use the religious aspect of the war” in Chechnya.

GEORGIA'S AUTHORITIES DOUBT POSSIBILITY OF BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT IN PANKISI "....French ambassador to Georgia Philipp Lefair, attending the news meeting, also confirmed that the present situation in Pankisi was not under study at the conference. "The statement of the French interior minister concerned the situation in the gorge which existed several years ago. Unfortunately, the information spread by some the Russian mass media outlets was distorted and no true to fact", Me. Lefair said.

My thoughts exactly, what are they doing about it? Probably selling the terrorists all the necessary supplies and cook books.

Hey look, someone being shot in the streets.

okay, way to point that out. Going to call 911?

actually i know what the french are going to do about it. They'll present it at the UN the next time it has an opening in the meeting agenda, which should be sometime in the spring of '67. Peacekeepers are expected to roll out in the following decade.
