STOLEN FOOT-AND-MOUTH VIRUS 'RELEASED DELIBERATELY'
18:30 Sunday 8 April 2001
The foot-and-mouth outbreak could have been started deliberately by
someone who stole a
test-tube of the virus from a laboratory.
The Sunday Express says a container of foot-and-mouth virus went
missing from a secret
Government lab at Porton Down in Wiltshire two months before the
crisis began.
The disappearance was discovered during a routine audit of the
sensitive unit, which also
houses smallpox, TB, anthrax and Ebola. The newspaper says there are
rumours the missing
test-tube could have been taken by an animal rights activist.
The paper quotes a 'senior military source close to Porton Down' as
saying: "A phial appears
to have gone missing from one of the labs following a routine audit
last year.
"Ministry officials were informed immediately and an investigation was
launched initially by
Special Branch and then by MI5, who are interested in the activities
of animal rights protesters."
It says questions will be tabled in parliament about the Porton Down
link this week. A
Department of Health spokesman wouldn't comment but the paper said an
agriculture ministry
spokesman said the matter was being investigated.
The paper also claims it has seen documents confirming some sheep
carried the virus long
before the outbreak was confirmed on February 20. According to a Welsh
vet, it was in Wales
as early as January, says the paper.
Timber merchants say they were approached by the Ministry of
Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
in early February to supply wood for pyres. Agriculture minister Nick
Brown insisted this was
part of a "regular contingency planning exercise".
He told the paper: "There are a number of urban legends doing the
rounds that the ministry
knew about this disease before. That is not true."
