Silica has been a staple in professionally engineered germ warfare powders for decades. (The Soviet Union added to its powders resin and a silica dust called Aerosila formulation requiring high heat to create nanoparticles, says Alibek. U. S. labs have tested an Aerosil variant called Cab-O-Sil, and declassified U. S. intelligence reports state that Iraq's chemical and biological warfare labs imported tons of both Cab-O-Sil and Aerosil, also known as "solid smoke," in the 1980s).
Previously posted here... I found this old Iraqi internet request for for a supplier of Aerosil or Cab-o-sil, among other things, through a Ukrainian company called TP consulting. The date of the request was April 26th, 2001. It originally appeared here, but that link now requires a login. I was able to find it cached via Google...
