Andreas: the signature of the anthrax virus attacks on the US Congress led to... the US military.


Different situation. The Ames anthrax strain was shared by research scientists all over the world, so tracing the gene profile back to the Ames strain is meaningless.


Further, the attempts to reproduce the micro-milling technology used in the anthrax mail attacks have implied origin in a sophisticated non-US facility rather than the lone nut working in a pond.

However Iranian reactors should have their own unique signatures. Question in that scenario is whether the US, if faced with chaos of nuke attack in major city, will even bother to wait for verification or just launch spasm response.
