“One example was the secret Special Operations Division (SOD) at the premier US chemical and biological warfare

research facility at Fort Detrick, Maryland, which had created a number of germ weapons for the CIA (codename

MKNAOMI).  Later, an SOD report surfaced, detailing a simulated biological warfare attack in New York in the

summer of 1966—Army personnel had released aerosol clouds of a “harmless simulant agent” into subway stations

along the 7th and 8th Avenue lines to assess the vulnerability of subway systems to covert biological attacks and to

explore “methods of delivery that could be used offensively.”19
