A North Korean soldier who defected to the South has been tested and found to have antibodies to anthrax — sparking fears that the rogue regime may have weaponized the deadly disease.

The soldier, who was either exposed to or vaccinated against anthrax, had developed the immunity before defecting according to South Korean authorities, reported UPI, citing a South Korean news report.
