The BBC reported today that the Department of Health and UK Police have issued a safety alert as heroin infected anthrax has killed a number of people. Heroin infected with anthrax spores killed people in Scotland in December 2009. Today police revealed that more people have died including a person in London. Was it leaked from an animal testing lab?
The police are saying that anthrax spores are somehow getting into batches of heroin. This was reported in Scotland in 2009 and now in London as from today.
Today a new alert was issued as more people have been affected and a person has died in London.

It is possible that the anthrax has been leaked acidentally or deliberately from a lab or that infected lab animals might have escaped carrying the disease.
This anthrax alert is a reason to argue that pathogen labs should not be built in cities or towns.
