I just saw an article that reports that blood tests done on a North Korean soldier who defected to the South showed that he had immunity to anthrax. That's rather unusual. Anthrax is not a disease to which many people have built up antibodies. The presence of these antibodies would indicate that the soldier had been given some sort of vaccine against anthrax. It would also indicate that the NK's were planning on using anthrax as a biological weapon.
Let's take a moment right now to consider a North Korean biological attack on Seoul. Anthrax spores would be spread around the Seoul metro area. Basically, almost anyone who breathed in these spores would dies in a matter of hours. Just by spreading the disease in the air, the NK's could kill millions of people in a day. That's pretty creepy.
The problem is that there is no effective vaccine against anthrax that could be given to the widespread population across the south. Also, the NKs could easily attack Japan with the anthrax. Similarly, it would not be that difficult to spread the spores in an American city or two.
These are truly bad people.
