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.
In North Georgia or South Georgia?
I'll bet they did it while Carter was Governor!!
The devil went down to Georgia, and I think it's gonna take a little more than some fancy fiddle playin' to drive him out!
What's that country just to the south of Turkey?
Geez, just what I needed to read, driving to Fla from MI w/the In-laws for Easter break.
Guess we'll have to have the windows rolled up while going through your fine State

Our tax dollars go there to stop it, seems a waste of money so far.
