A structural biologist would probably not be the first choice of a terrorist looking for help making weapons of mass destruction.

Thanks for the input but I don't understand enough regarding types of biologists.

However, it seems to me that someone was in the car with him and made him get out - enter another vehicle. Perhaps the location would make it seem like suicide.

Unless it was one who had worked with Visna in particular, say back around 1980-'85.

"A structural biologist would not be first choice for a terrorist..."

Probably true, but would not a structural biologist be important to developing counter measures to bio terror. Sort of like taking an all star linebacker off the field at game time. Just a thought.

What does a structural biologist study?

"A structural biologist would probably not be the first choice of a terrorist looking for help making weapons of mass destruction."

Is that something a terrorist would know, though? How many people have even heard the term "structural biologist"? I don't think I've ever seen it until I read this thread. Is it possible that a terrorist outfit would see the list of diseases the guy worked with, and decide he's just what they need, and then proceed to kidnap him?
