October 24, 2001 -- WASHINGTON - Terror master Osama bin Laden bought samples of anthrax by mail from shady laboratories in Eastern Europe and Asia for as little as $10,000, a former follower has told authorities in Egypt.

The astonishing claim of how easily - and cheaply - the world's most wanted terrorist was able to acquire anthrax and other deadly germ agents was made in a 143-page confession of former extremist Ahmad Ibrahim al-Najjar at a recent trial of more than 100 members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad.

If it's weapons grade anthrax, then this report fails the veracity test. According to Iraq's top scientist (he defected to the West) only Iraq has the weapons grade anthrax for sale.

There is a curious reluctance to consider North Korea (with whom the US are still at war)as a source for bio weapons. They supplied 50 Rodong 2 missiles, range 1300km, to that nice Mr Gadaffi February 2001.
