In light of the mentions of resin and polymerized glass in Mr. Matsumoto's Nov. 2003 article:

ANTHRAX POWDER - STATE OF THE ART?

this February 2003 article here may be of interest to FR Anthrax Busters. For example:

"...Regarding biological weapons, Kamal states that Hakam was the location where bulk agents were produced: "They have chosen that site away from the population. Most work was done at Dora on anthrax."

However, Kamal stated that "there was an island in England and they tested anthrax there."

Ambassador Ekeus states in one passage: "We know that they weaponized agents in airbombs in December 1990." Kamal responds, "Yes, it was done at Muthanna. All agents were put in bombs with fiberglass."

The Muthanna State Establishment was located 120 kilometers northwest of Baghdad. It was there that researchers investigated anthrax, botulinum toxin, aflatoxin and ricin.

Another site listed for production of biological weapons was Fudaliyah, where, Kamal explained, "they used epoxy resin, not fiberglass." ..."

The Kamal documents also record discussion of Iraq's production of Ebola, stating that "it was filled on bombs coated with fiberglass." Kamal admits that research was performed "on the Ebola virus and hemorrhagic fevers" but that "the main focus was on anthrax, and a lot of studies were done."

"it was filled on bombs coated with fiberglass."

This statement and others lead me to believe our Arabic translator left womething to be desired - lack of Arabic or science background.
