Anthrax attacks may have been CIA test gone wrong 
John Innes 


AN AMERICAN expert last night claimed last autumn’s
anthrax attacks may have been the result of CIA
research which went disastrously wrong.

At the same time, health ministers of the G7 countries
and Mexico met in London and agreed to carry out an
international exercise to test reactions to a
biological, chemical or radio-nuclear terrorist
incident. 

Barbara Rosenberg, the director of the Federation of
American Scientists’ Chemical and Biological Weapons
Program, raised the possibility that the CIA could
have ordered a “field trial” on the possible effects
of delivering anthrax through the mail and the
contents could have been used by whoever was
responsible for the anthrax attacks.

Dr Rosenberg told the BBC’s Newsnight: “Some very
expert field person would have been given this job and
it would have been left to him to decide exactly how
to carry it out.

“The result might have been a project gone badly awry
if he decided to use it for his own purposes and
target the media and the Senate for his own motives as
not intended by the government project.”

Dr Rosenberg claimed the culprit had knowledge both of
the law and of the detective work it would need for
him to be caught. She said: “This person knows a lot
about forensic matters, knows exactly what he can be
prosecuted for and what he can get away with and I
think he had some personal matters that he might have
wanted to settle, but I think in addition that he felt
that bio-defence was being underemphasised for some
time in the past.”
