Dysfunctions: Bio-Roulette
It’s like in a game "Russian roulette": nobody knows where’s the bullet and when the gun will fire a shot. During the Cold War, the Soviet intelligence hid some WMDs in the West: biological, chemical and nuclear. There’s a lot of evidence that the weapons remain in place, guarded and maintained by Russian spies. Will terrorists use them?
MI5 have identified 32 spies of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, SVR, operating under full diplomatic cover from their London embassy in Kensington.
The spies have links to former deep-cover KGB agents who, during the Cold War, hid scores of genetically-engineered biological warfare weapons in Britain’s countryside. They were to be used in a pre-emptive strike against London and other major cities.
After a post-Cold War purge of the KGB — described by the CIA’s former director George Tenet as "pure window dressing" — the sacked KGB agents offered their detailed knowledge of Britain to the highest bidder.
An internal MI5 document for its director, Eliza Manningham Buller, states: "There is a strong probability that some of the (KGB) agents have been recruited by al Qaeda".
MI5 have identified the license-plates of all cars used by the Russian spies. Several weeks ago, a car bearing the telltale number plate for all Russian diplomatic vehicles — 248D (and three more digits) was spotted in the vicinity of RAF Lyenam in Wiltshire. The car was being driven by a middle-aged man on a road leading to Marlborough.
An MI5 source confirmed that the Security Service believes part of the mission of the Russian spies includes ensuring that the hiding places for the germ vials remain undetected.
Until recently the knowledge of the lethal germs remained so secret that not even Eliza Manningham Buller and her specialists on Russian intelligence had any inkling of their existence.
Kouzminov’s revelations Then a former KGB spymaster, Alexander Kouzminov, revealed his agents had planted the vials in the Home Counties.
And he has claimed that some of the SVR spies today operating in Britain are involved in ensuring the deadly germs remain hidden.
Kouzminov was head of the KGB’s ultra-secret unit, Department 12 of Directorate S.
"Our work was biological espionage, planning and preparation of acts of biological terrorism, sabotage and biological war", he revealed.
From his home in New Zealand — close to the home of former MI5 officer Peter Wright — Kouzminov said: "Huge efforts and money was spent in our work. It would be foolish to believe our people were stood down just because Russia took part in biological weapons talks in Geneva".
In an introduction to his own book, Biological Espionage, he hopes it "will attract the attention of the intelligence services".
His claims have stunned MI5. Even top Cold War Russian defectors like Oleg Gordievsky and Vasiliy Mitrokhin had no hint of Department 12’s activities. Or that it survives to this day.
The biological germs were prepared by Russian scientists of the Soviet Union’s Bioprepart programme. Their brief had been "to produce bacteria against which Britain would have no defence".
The germs were created after the Soviet Union signed the 1972 Biological Warfare Convention. They were engineered in secret laboratories in the Ural Mountains.
From there the vials were smuggled into Britain in diplomatic bags.
Scientists at Porton Down, Britain’s biological defence establishment, fear the vials could contain plague germs and even smallpox.
"Bioprepart was actively engaged in producing weapons of that kind", confirmed Dr Ken Alibek, the programme’s former director until he defected to the United States.
Kouzminov insists that in making his bombshell revelations about the way his department left a deadly collection of germs buried in the English countryside, "I do not intend to push a political line for or against any state and its policies".
But ten years after he left Department 12 to live with his wife in New Zealand, he still refuses to say if he knows where the deadly germs are hidden.
