Anthrax, its been done before. It just doesn't do the job: "the cult attempted to release anthrax spores from its mid-rise Tokyo office building laboratory. At that time, police and media reported foul smells, brown steam, some pet deaths, and stains on cars and sidewalks." 2, 3. "Many view the cult Aum Shinrikyo as a group seeking to bring on the end of the world." and "an estimated $1.5 billion in assets" (thats more than Usama). me=alarmist, today.

At least their fighting for a good cause.

and
the Usama or Osama thing is like the r/l thing when translating from japanese to english. sounds+letter don't necessarily correspond when flip-flopping around the languages. it can go any way.

Not nearly so annoying as "Taliban" vs. "Taleban."
