Iran Making Anthrax at Secret Plant

by REZA KAHLILI December 18, 2012

Russian scientists have helped Iran master four microbial agents for bombs, which the Islamic regime has used to arm 37 launch-ready missiles so far, sources have revealed.

The secret work is being done at a plant named Shahid Bahonar on a mountaintop by the city of Marzanabad off the mountainous Chalus road to the Iranian Caspian Sea.

The plant, under the supervision of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, is headed by Dr. Esmaeil Namazi, who oversees 28 Iranian and 12 Russian scientists, according to a source in the Revolutionary Guards intelligence division with access to the site.

There are several underground facilities at two levels with elevators reaching the lower level some 40 feet underground and where more than 100 personnel work on the microbial bomb project, the source said.

The plant has been expanded significantly in the last two years, and two high-power towers, one at the bottom of the mountain and one behind the plant, provide the needed electricity for the site. Homes have been built close by to accommodate personnel so they would not raise suspicion by commuting back and forth.

The scientists are working on 18 agents but so far they have developed four for weaponization, according to the source, who provided particulars on three of them:

  • Bacillus anthracis (anthrax). This bacteria was developed by the United States during World War II and through espionage was obtained by the Soviet Union, which has long mastered the production. Russian scientists have helped the Iranians to produce anthrax.
  • Encephalitis. The blueprint of this virus, Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, was provided by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in an agreement two years ago with the Islamic regime.
  • Yellow grain. This third agent, developed with the help of North Korea but named "yellow grain" by the Iranians, has no smell and upon impact will destroy the body's defensive system. Victims would have a hard time walking or breathing within hours and slowly their digestive systems would be destroyed, likely followed by death within 48 hours.

"Yellow grain" could be similar to "yellow rain," which the then-Soviet Union allegedly provided to North Vietnam and Laos to use against U.S.-backed rebels.

Bill Maher: Don't you dare lower the legal blood alcohol limit, you nanny-staters!

May 19, 2013  08:38 PM

So lowering the blood alcohol limit is an unacceptable intrusion by the Nanny State (even though doing so probably would save lives). Gun control, on the other hand, is positively wonderful (even though the right to bear arms, unlike the right to drive, is protected by the U.S. Constitution): And nationalizing one-seventh of the economy in the name […]

Civility: Austin, Texas, police chief says pro-gun Twitter user has ‘lying extremist undeveloped brain'; Update: Acevedo tries to cover his tracks

May 19, 2013  07:36 PM

No one is arguing that Acevdeo doesn't enjoy the same First Amendment rights as other citizens. The point is simply that it is unseemly for a high-ranking public official to address critics in such a harsh, vitriolic manner.

Rupert Murdoch: Boost charitable giving by scrapping the charitable deduction

May 19, 2013  05:58 PM

That’s what Murdoch tweeted in response to a question from Newsday’s Josh Greenman about getting rid of the charitable deduction. Greenman’s question was prompted by Murdoch’s logic-challenged tweet yesterday linking the IRS scandal to the need for a flat tax and elimination of all deductions. We suspect that the number of major charitable organizations supporting Murdoch’s […]

Chicago Teacher's Union marches to protest school closures

May 19, 2013  05:29 PM

That’s right. It’s OK for the “educators” in the Chicago Teacher’s Union to shut down schools and endanger kids left abandoned to streets, but it’s murder when Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel tries to shut down schools (most of them poor performers) to keep the district solvent. Most Chicago public schools are awful, and teachers earn $76,000 […]
