To quote a yahoo news story"Invoices included in the documents read like shopping lists for biological weapons programs. One 1986 shipment from the Virginia-based ATCC included three strains of anthrax, six strains of the bacteria that make botulinum toxin and three strains of the bacteria that cause gas gangrene. Iraq later admitted to the UN that it had made weapons out of all three."
