|Anthrax bacteria likely to be US military strain
|by Debora MacKenzie
|
|THE bacteria used for the anthrax attacks in the US is either 
|the strain the US itself used to make anthrax weapons in the 
|1960s, or close to it. It is not a strain that Iraq, or the 
|former Soviet Union, mass-produced for weapons.
|
|There have been charges over the past week that the 
|sophistication of the anthrax suggests that it was produced 
|with the backing of some government, such as Iraq. But neither 
|the strain nor the physical form of the anthrax is 
|particularly sophisticated, say bioweapons specialists.
