Hello -

Try the book "Demon in the Freezer" by Richard Preston. He details the weapons inspectors' trials in Iraq, where they discovered Soviet bioreactors. The serial numbers on the chambers matched those seen by earlier inspectors of the Soviet era. The bioreactors were used by the Soviets to engineer and manufacture smallpox, Saddam's scientists could have used them for the same purpose. (Doubtless, IMO)

If I remember correctly, they claimed to be working on camelpox, for research only. I'd give page numbers, but my copy is loaned to a coworker who made the mistake of wearing a "No More Blood For Oil" shirt while I was present.

Hope this helps.
