You might kill these micro-biologists if:

1) You plan an attack and you don't want people whom you don't control to be able to identify the source of the attack.

2) You anticipate an extended war involving these types of weapons and you don't want your enemy to have these people available to help in the effort.

3) You want to be able to intimidate the surviving microbiologists into doing what you want.

Has anyone found a commonality between these murders aside from the fact they were in this field? Could they have worked for terrorists or others? Has anyone noted a news outlet aside from the internet doing a piece on this? I have been following it for some time, I thought I was one of the few or none that noticed....Nice to know Freepers are so observant :0).

I think you hit the nail on the head with plan #1. I have been following this story from the beginning, and I think your explanation #1 is what it is all about. I believe in the next year or two we are going to see some lethal plagues and viruses circulating around the globe.
