Murdered

The Express reports that Dr. David Kelly was “writing a book exposing highly damaging government secrets before his ­mysterious death.”

“He was intending to reveal that he warned Prime Minister Tony Blair there were no weapons of mass destruction anywhere in Iraq weeks before the British and American invasion.

“Dr Kelly was also intending to lift the lid on a potentially bigger scandal, his own secret dealings in germ warfare with the apartheid regime in South Africa.”

These latest revelations are included in a new American documentary, “Anthrax War”, which suggests there is a global black market in anthrax and exposes the mystery “suicides” of five government germ warfare scientists from around the world.

Dr Kelly’s “mysterious death”, you’ll remember, was allegedly suicide. He was found dead in the woods a short time after saying if he didn’t shut up he’d be found dead in the woods. The post mortem showed that neither the pills that were still in his stomach, nor the cuts to his wrists, could have killed him.

The LibDem MP Norman Baker is author of “The Strange Death of David Kelly.” After much research, Baker rules out suicide and says that “given that his death was clearly not an accident, that leaves only one alternative – that he must have been murdered.”

Baker seems to think that Iraqi dissidents are the most likely murder suspects, due to their wanting Saddam ousted and Dr Kelly was a potential problem in that he believed the stories of WMDs were exaggerated.

Whoever murdered Dr Kelly, the UK authorities surely must have covered up the fact. This I find just as unsettling.
