US 'sent Live Anthrax to UK'
美國將細菌送往各國意欲何為？
A lab in the UK may have received a sample of live anthrax from the Pentagon in 2007, say US officials.
美國官員稱，2007年英國的實驗室收到了五角大樓寄出的活性炭疽桿菌樣本。
Colonel Steve Warren said the lab - which is not being named - is run by UK personnel, not the US military.
史蒂夫·沃倫上校表示這間不知名的實驗室是由英國一家公司建立的，并非美國軍方。
The colonel was referring to the deadly bacteria when he said, "Another lot came up positive and that lot had sent samples to the UK and Massachusetts."
上校在提到這一致命細菌時稱“所有外運活性樣本均出自一處試驗場，實驗場后將樣本寄往英國和馬薩諸塞州。”
Now there are 68 labs involved in the anthrax scare from the US, including four foreign countries.
目前，共有68個實驗室收到美方寄出的活性炭疽桿菌樣本，包括四個境外國家。
Anthrax bacteria live primarily in inactive spores and are found naturally in the soil, but people can ingest or inhale spores, which can make the anthrax active.
炭疽桿菌存在于無性孢子中，并廣泛生長于土壤里，一旦人們攝入或吸入孢子后，炭疽桿菌就會在體內活躍起來。
