(Nov 27) A group of scientists is pushing to publish research about how they created a man-made flu virus that could potentially wipe out civilisation. The deadly virus is a genetically tweaked version of the H5N1 bird flu strain, but is far more infectious and could pass easily between millions of people at a time. The current strain of H5N1 has only killed 500 people and is not contagious enough to cause a global pandemic. The research has caused a storm of controversy and divided scientists, with some saying it should never have been carried out. But there are fears the modified virus is so dangerous it could be used for bio-warfare, if it falls into the wrong hands. (Source)

There is even talk now that there may be one for the Chinese gene,” Peter Eyre, a Middle East consultant, said in a recent interview with Press TV. The analyst went on to say that the US and UK have not only amassed a huge stockpile of biological and chemical weapons but also provided dictatorial regimes around the world to use and develop such lethal weapons.
