(回答先: 05/16 07:52 生物兵器を開発と告発 イラン反体制派組織 共同 投稿者 倉田佳典 日時 2003 年 5 月 16 日 20:41:11)
ガーディアン紙をあたってみました。イラン政府は生物兵器プログラムを進めていると告発した反体制グループ、ムジャヒディン・ハルク（MKO）はワシントンによってテロリストグループとしてリストされているそうです。それでありながら、彼らの告発を読んだラムズフェルドは

Iran, already accused by the Bush administration of hiding
attempts to build a nuclear bomb, faces fresh allegations about
its chemical and biological weapons programmes.
Washington is now accusing Tehran of stockpiling nerve agents
and pursuing a chemical weapons programme, while an Iranian
resistance group yesterday alleged that Iran has an aggressive
bio-weapons effort under way.
"We are most troubled by the activities of Iran, which we believe
continues to seek chemicals, production technology, training,
and expertise from abroad," a US representative recently told
the international chemical weapons watchdog agency in the
Hague.
Washington also accused Iran of stockpiling blister, blood and
choking agents and some nerve agents, US diplomat Stephen
Rademaker said in a statement obtained by the Guardian. The
statement was read out to the Organisation for the Prohibition of
Chemical Weapons (OPCW) at a meeting in the Hague last
month.
Iran has vehemently denied the allegations, which are sure to
have been raised in recent talks between the two governments in
Geneva.
An Iranian resistance group, the Mojahedin Khalq Organisation
(MKO), made more drastic accusations about Iran's biological
programme, the Washington Post reported yesterday.
The organisation, which is listed as a terrorist group by
Washington but has allies in the US Congress, alleged that
Tehran had started producing weaponised anthrax and was
actively working with at least five other pathogens, including
smallpox, in a drive to build an arsenal of biological weapons.
The US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, told reporters he
had not read the allegations. He said that he would have to "go
back and refresh" himself on "the latest assessments" before
responding to any claims on Iran's chemical and biological
weapons capabilities.
Kenneth Katzman, an expert on Iran and terrorism at the
Congressional Research Service in Washington, told the
Guardian: "The US government intelligence assessments do say
there is an assumption that they have an ability to weaponise
basic biological agents like anthrax.
"But I see [the MKO report] as going further in saying that Iran is
actively making a stockpile of these weapons."
Analysts say hardline elements of the Iranian leadership may
see nuclear or other weapons programmes as a possible
deterrent against increasing pressure from the US, which now
has troops and bases in countries surrounding Iran from every
direction.
