Could anyone confirm this?

I have just read in a magazine that the British did some mexperiments with biological weaponry, specifically anthrax in the island of Gruinard, in the West of Scotland. I do not believe that the results of the experiments lead to any biologycal weapons and of course, were never used in combat. I also read that the anthrax is still in the island...

Hard to believ. But it was a fine scientific magazine...

It's true. It's ben public knowledge for many years, but every now and again tabloid newspapers will run a 'shock,horror' story about 'Churchill planning to use Anthrax'.

Thank you very much, Martin.

I is bizarre to know that bactereological weapons were also developed in Europe...
