It would be the "middle-men" who repackage (and often dilute) the product, long before it hit the streets, who would be the most likely casualties, serving mainly to disrupt and demolish the very drug trade that provides a wealth of hidden finance to the shady activities of the world. Seems counterproductive from a terrorist point of view... ____tony____ At 07:01 AM 10/15/01 -0700, you wrote: >Subject: ALERT: Heroin: Anthrax contaminated(?) > >THE CONTENT OF THIS ALERT IS UNCONFIRMED > >(REDACTED) >"...heard from a friend who has spent some time in the vicinity of >Afghanistan (he's a Pakistani Engineer) that the word is that some >batches of heroin shipped out of Afghanistan are going to be >contaminated with anthrax, or smallpox.
