Israel admits testing anthrax antidote on soldiers
None
Cleared for publication: Israel has developed a vaccination against anthrax, fearing it might be used as a bioweapon by enemy nations against civilians, and tested it on IDF soldiers.
The defense establishment's anthrax research was presented to 4,029 potential volunteers, 716 of whom eventually took part in the experiment. Eleven of the soldiers have now sought medical attention due to complications. (Hanan Greenberg)
