"Most afternoons, among the market stalls leading to the old city of Najaf young men set up TV sets in the street showing grotesque scenes of cruelty. Handcuffed prisoners are executed with sticks of dynamite shoved into their pockets. Screaming men plead for their lives as they are beaten by Saddam Hussein's secret police. Crimson fragments of bodies lie in the street, moments after a huge explosion, to the soundtrack of an Arab lament. The crowds gather round. People mutter and shake their heads. Then they queue to pay 1,000 Iraqi dinars (about 33p) [50 cents] for laser discs containing footage of the appalling scenes. These are the atrocity discs of Iraq, a booming mini-industry in a country still stricken by the consequences of the war. They are produced in home factories, with the simplest computer equipment." -- The London Times, September 20, 2003

"Desperate relatives and friends were digging to find remains of their loved ones yesterday at what US soldiers said was the largest mass grave of Saddam Hussein's victims discovered in Iraq. ... Seven days into the dig, the scene resembles a battlefield of the dead: the loose sandy soil carved into trenches, ditches and foxholes by a bulldozer. All around lie piles of remains: pelvic bones, ribs, femurs and skulls -- one still wearing its weave-pattern prayer cap, another the blindfold affixed by his killers shortly before death. From many protrude the identity cards, amber necklaces, front-door keys and watches used by relatives to identify their brothers, cousins and sons. A plastic artificial leg sticks out of one pile, two crutches from another." -- The Australian, May 15, 2003.

The folowing quotes are from the book, Biohazard, by Ken Alibek with Stephan Handelman, 1999.

Ken Alibek was the former first deputy chief of Biopreparat, he defected to the United States in 1992.

Main Directorate “Biopreparat”
Created in 1973 to provide civilian cover for advanced military research into biological weapons, the agency was originally attached to the Council of Ministers. The majority of its personnel came from the Army’s Fifteenth Directorate, which kept it effectively under military control. A government reorganization in the mid 1980’s transeferred Biopreparat to the ministry of Medical and Microbiological Industries, but it continues to enjoy virtually Autonomous authority as the principal government agency for biological weapons research and development. Biopreparat was officially responsible for civilian facilities around the country dedicated to the research and of development of vaccines, biopesticides, and some laboratory and hospital equipment; but many of its facilities doubled as as BW [biological warfare] development and production plants and were earmarked as “reserve” or mobilization units for use in case of war. [Pg.299, appendix 2.]

Biopreparat, we believed, was our Manhattan Project. [Pg, 14]

The third floor was home to our “first department,” the unit responsible for maintaining our secret files and all communications with Biopreparat facilities around the country. The only people allowed in, besides security personnel, were Kalinin and myself. It was administered by the KGB. [Pg, 14]

At the height of the U.S. Offensive biological weapons program, American scientists restricted themselves to developing armaments that could be countered by anti-biotics or vaccines, out of a concern for protecting troops and civilians from potential accidents. The Soviet government decided that the best agents were those for which there was no known cure. This shaped the entire course of our program and thrust it into a never-ending race against the medical profession. Every time a new treatment or vaccine came to light somewhere, we were back in our labs trying to figure out how to counter its effects.
    Trafficking in germs and viruses was legal then, as it is today. In the name of scientific, our agents purchased strains from university research laboratories and biotech firms around the world with no difficulty. Representatives of Soviet scientific and trade organizations based in Europe, as well as in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, had standing instructions to look out for new or unsual diseases. It was from the United States, for instance, that we obtained Machupo, the virus that causes Bolivian hemmorrhagic fever [similar to Ebola]. We picked up Marburg, related to the Ebola virus, from Germany.
    The KGB was our most dependable supplier of raw material. They were known within Biopreparat by the code name “Capturing Agency One.” Vials arrived in Russia almost every month with exotic fluids, powders, and cultures gathered by our intelligence agents in every corner of the globe. [Pg, 18]

What To Say About WMD

[PsyOp]

“To seek to possess the weapons that could counter those of the infidels is a religious duty. If I have indeed acquired these weapons, then this is an obligation I carried out and I thank God for enabling us to do that. And if I seek to acquire these weapons I am carrying out a duty. It would be a sin for Muslims not to try to possess the weapons that would prevent the infidels from inflicting harm on Muslims. But how we could use these weapons if we possess them is up to us.” -Osama Bin Laden interview with Peter Arnett 12/22/98
