Did the Kabul military commander that the USG Gitmo prosecutors allege had anthrax have any connection to this lab?
Anthrax in Kabul Red Cross lab left by foreign staff
Asian Political News, Oct 22, 2001
PARIS, Oct. 14 Kyodo
Foreign staff have abandoned a laboratory of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Food and Agriculture Organization in Kabul where anthrax bacilli were cultivated, a French weekly paper reported Sunday.
The Journal du Dimanche said foreign staff withdrew from Afghanistan on Sept. 16 and that the French intelligence service is concerned that terrorists might try to convert the bacilli into a biological weapon.
The bacilli kept at the laboratory were intended for use in making anthrax vaccines for domestic animals, the paper said.
ICRC spokesman Kim Gordon-Bates said that the bacilli used by scientists at the lab are not infectious and it is difficult to produce a deadly virus from the bacilli.
Fears of bioterrorism by anthrax are widening in the United States, where nine people have tested positive for anthrax exposure and one of them has died.
Were the fingerprints of the Kabul military commander who allegedly had anthrax found on these Bioport documents in Kabul? Who were these two Pakistani scientists arrested in November 2001? What page had stars across the top?
