But isn't it the 'milling' operation that is so critical to the use of anthrax spores as a dispersible weapon like the ones used? And that milling operation both leaves a signature of its methods and is very guarded info?

There are said to be weaponization processes that do not involve milling. However, I believe you are correct in focusing on the weaponization process, whether it involves milling or something else. The catch is that it would seem that the "weaponization signature" on the mailed anthrax may not match any known technique.

According to information I have Walied Samarrai is the same individual also identified as Waly Samar. He is an Iraqi-American whose family roots are in Samarra, Iraq, scene of the most recent firefight between our 4th I.D. and some of Saddam's elite personal bodyguards. This is the same individual with ties to both Ramzi Yousef and Mohammed Atta, among others.

You will find the best information on him is in published works by author Dr. Laurie Mylroie.
