Fascinating to get Dr Alibek's insights into both the Soviet and current regime's attitudes towards truth, diplomatic trustworthiness, and focus on developing bioweapons. I worked in molecular biology for decades trying to clones genes then understand the protein expression and physiological function so I am familiar with the potentials in the tools for manipulation. Then Dr Alibek corrected the interviewer that the anthrax was a found strain not altered. All the team had to do was work on the fermentation to bulk the bacillus and develop a technique to permit delivery of the infectious agent.
This is worth noting that there is almost always going to a strain in existence as virulent as anything that could be designed in a lab , a strain that can be used as a weapon if it can be cultured in a lab and a method of delivery developed.
