They are still saying "We are not convinced" even though their own CIA equivalent told them about that and food poisoning on the 9th of August 2002.
I read the whole thing and didn't find reference to the food poisoning bit, but my German's getting rusty these days. Can you point me to where it is in this article, or is that bit in another German news article?
Anyway, the article you cited ended with this:
Als eine der wichtigsten westlichen Industrienationen und aufgrund der unzureichenden Bevorratung ist Deutschland als weitgehend ungeschütztes Land ein besonders "attraktives" Ziel für bioterroristische Angriffe.
My rough and probably bad translation:
As one of the most important industrial nations in the West, which is to a large extent an unprotected country due to its insufficient stocks of [smallpox vaccine], Germany is a particularly a "attractive" target for bioterror attacks.
Hmm.
Now here's the part of the article I find chilling:
Den deutschen Sicherheitsdiensten liegen dokumentierte Erkenntnisse vor, daß Pockenerreger außerhalb der offiziellen Labore in Atlanta und Koltsovo illegal, z. B. in Rußland, Irak und Nordkorea, gelagert werden. Ebenso gibt es Hinweise darauf, daß sich Terrorgruppen um die Herstellung biologischer Kampfstoffe bemühen.
Again, my poor translation:
German intelligence agencies present documented findings that smallpox pathogens are illegally stored outside the official laboratories in Atlanta and Koltsovo, e.g. in Russia, Iraq and North Korea. There is likewise reference to the fact that terrorist groups strive to produce biological agents.
