-- FBI Overlooks Foreign Sources Of Anthrax, By Edward Jay Epstein, Wall
Street Journal: "Fuad El-Hibri, a Lebanese Arab with joint German-U.S.
citizenship
had worked in the mergers-and-acquisitions department of
Citibank in Jedda, Saudi Arabia, where he specialized in arranging
investments for large Saudi investors
So when Mr. El-Hibri took over the
British biotech lab, he reorganized its bio-terrorism defense business,
and arranged deliveries of biotech defense products to Saudi Arabia
Even
more intriguing, Mr. El- Hibri's interest in anthrax vaccines did not
stop with CAMR. In 1998, he arranged a leveraged buyout of the Michigan
Biological Products Institute. MBPI, which originally had been owned by
the state of Michigan, held the exclusive contract for providing the
U.S. government with anthrax vaccine.
