A secret biological laboratory found in a suburban Las Vegas home, apparently linked to a similar unauthorised facility in California, has alarmed officials who warn that the United States may be dangerously unprepared for hidden bioterror threats.
On January 31, police in Las Vegas raided a five‑bedroom house in a quiet residential area after several people who had stayed there became “deathly ill”, according to the Daily Mail. Officers found multiple refrigerators, unknown liquids in bottles and jugs, and laboratory‑style equipment inside a garage that had been converted into a makeshift biolab. More than 1,000 samples were sent to the National Bioforensic Analysis Centre for testing, as authorities continue to examine what substances were present.
