The connection between Salman Pak, the hijackers, and the Iraqi biological weapons program, including the West Nile virus and anthrax led me to a hypothetical scenario.

Suppose, hypothetically, the West Nile virus was brought to the U.S. by Iraqi agents. If so, why? It is not a weapon of mass destruction and that is the type of wepaon we have been repeatedly warned about from Saddam. One result of the West Nile virus is the wide spread use of crop dusters and trucks to spray for mosquitos.

Saddam has spent billions developing his biological weapons program, what he is missing is a means of wide scale delivery.

The hijackers spent a considerable amount of time investigating crop dusters.

The the parallel in two possible unconventional tactics are interesting to me.
The terrorists used airliners to bring down skyscrapers.
Consider the possibility that airborne and ground vehicles disguised as mosquito spraying platforms could be used in a coordinated biological weapon attack.

Please see reply #51

Crop dusters near populated centers would normally draw suspicion.

Crop dusters are used in mosquito spraying operations and would provide a legitimate excuse for over flyng populated areas.
