A laboratory in the Siberian city of Irkutsk has come under scrutiny following the death of a worker, with long-standing suspicions that the facility was involved in the development of biological weapons.
Annie Jacobsen, an author who recently published the nonfiction book “Biological War: A Scenario,” highlighted the history associated with the site. The revelation comes as questions persist regarding safety protocols and the operational background of Russian research centers.

Is anyone actually investigating this, or will it just disappear into the news cycle like always?
Irkutsk? That area has a complicated history with Soviet-era biological programs. This fits right in.
Another suspicious lab death in Russia. How reassuring for the rest of us, really.
