British Lab tests confirm what exactly????
-------------------------------------------------------
BUCHAREST, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Lab tests in Britain have confirmed that an outbreak of bird flu in Romania is that of the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain, Romania's state veterinarian authority said on Saturday.

"We have received telephone confirmation from London that it is the H5N1 virus," Alina Monea, spokeswoman at Romania's veterinary and animal health authority told Reuters. -

British laboratory...Porton Down???

-------------------------------------------------------
'Bird flu outbreak is inevitable'
-------------------------------------------------------
Officials announced yesterday that samples of Romanian bird flu being tested this weekend in a British laboratory did contain the deadly H5N1 virus. However further results are needed to find out whether it is similar to the particularly lethal strain which has been found in Turkey and Asia. Scientists fear that H5N1 could genetically mutate into a form which is easily passed from human to human, sparking a global pandemic. -

UK Culling plan:
-------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Health will also announce its revised pandemic flu contingency plan this week. At the moment, planning is based on 54,000 Britons dying but in June the civil contingency secretariat advised the plan should be able to cope with a death toll of 700,000 - just over 1% of the population.

The new plan is understood to take account of the Civil Contingencies Act which allows the government to introduce emergency powers to safeguard human life. This means people could be confined to their homes and the army used to enforce quarantines.

Defra is to seek powers to cull every flock within two miles of an avian flu outbreak. At the moment, it only has the authority to kill infected flocks.

The move is likely to anger the farming industry, which saw millions of animals culled during the foot and mouth disease outbreak of 2001. But experts believe "pre-emptive" culls are the only way to ensure the virus does not spread. -

-------------------------------------------------------

After the Foot & Mouth debacle of 2001, which saw British Farms quarantined, shut down, animals needlessly slaughtered... misery, anguish and destitution for many farmers.

Who, in their right mind would trust
a British Virus outbreak response???

taking care to notice that the timeframe for these Avian flu scares are purely co-incidental to yet another push by London & Washington to 'bring Iran into line'

Iran accused over nuclear plans
-------------------------------------------------------
The US ambassador to the United Nations has accused Iran of spending 18 years trying to develop nuclear weapons while lying about its intentions.

John Bolton told the BBC that Iran wanted nuclear arms to intimidate the rest of the Middle East and possibly supply them to terrorists.

final irony or PSYOPS backstory

UK 'sells' bomb material to Iran

DTI is accused of approving controversial exports

Monday, 23 September, 2002 - British officials have approved the export of key components needed to make nuclear weapons to Iran and other countries known to be developing such weapons.

An investigation by BBC Radio 4 programme File on Four will disclose that the Department of Trade and Industry allowed a quantity of the metal, Beryllium, to be sold to Iran last year.

That metal is needed to make nuclear bombs.

Britain has had an arms embargo to Iran since 1993 and has signed up to an international protocol which bans the sale of Beryllium to named countries, including Iran.

MP's concerns

Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, Menzies Campbell, who has been alerted to the BBC programme's material, is said to be extremely alarmed.

Beryllium is a metal with a limited number of high-tech uses in civilian industry, but is mostly used in defence applications and is a vital component in a nuclear bomb.

The programme has also interviewed a leading nuclear weapons expert in the UK who says that the Beryllium and other items which the DTI has licensed to Iran add up to a shopping list for a nuclear weapons programme.

The UK has an arms embargo against Iran, but not a trade embargo.

Export control weaknesses

The programme highlights the weaknesses in the UK's new export control system, which was set up to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

It will reveal that Iranian procurement agents have been working in the UK to get sensitive material back to Iran, and that Pakistan has also been successful in procuring material for its nuclear programme from here.

It is also likely to cause concern among Britain's allies. President Bush named Iran as part of an "axis of evil" accusing the Iranian regime of sponsoring terrorism. BBC
