Israeli biolab in US leaves several ‘deathly ill’

Police in Las Vegas have arrested an Israeli citizen in an armed raid after an illegal ‘biolab’ made several people exposed to it ‘deathly ill’. 55-year-old Ori Salomon aka Ori Solomon was arrested on charges “disposing of and discharging hazardous waste” charges – and later also charged with illegal possession of six firearms – including an assault rifle of Israeli make.

An Israeli IWI Tabor x95 rifle of the type found at Salomon’s property.

Police recovered more than 1,000 samples of likely hazardous material after finding a freezer, multiple fridges and other laboratory material including:

biosafety hood, a biosafety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, red-brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers, and refrigerated vials with unknown liquids.

Bizarrely, it was not the first such raid. A Limited Liability Company tied to the county’s record of the property has the same name as a company named in an ongoing federal case in California involving a similar biological laboratory.

Israeli biolab raid

The Las Vegas raid followed a tip-off that lab equipment and hazardous materials were being stored at the residential property. The weapons charge was added later because the original warrant for the raid did not include firearms. The charge sheet says that Salomon/Solomon:

knowing that he was an alien admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa, knowingly possessed the firearms below, which were in and affecting interstate commerce, all in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(5)(B) and 924(a)(2):

a. a Springfield Armory SA-XD ACP 45 caliber bearing the serial numberUS734441;
b. a Savage Mark II .22 caliber rifle bearing the serial number 399291;
c. a Euroarms Brescia-Italy .36 Navy bearing the serial number 30614;
d. a Springfield Armory XD-9 9mm Handgun bearing the serial numberXD193283;
e. an IWI US Tavor-x95 5.56 bearing the serial number T0066621; and
f. a Glock 19 9mm Handgun bearing the serial number ANK965US.

The IWI Tavor-x95 ‘bullpup assault rifle’ is made in Israel and used by Israel’s military. The Austrian Glock 19 is also widely used by Israeli armed forces.

Court documents state that after entering the garage, several people became “deathly ill,” and “could not get out of bed”, according to local TV station KLAS. Samples have been taken by FBI aircraft to the National Bioforensic Analysis Center in Maryland.

Local media have speculated that the Israeli biolab may have been involved in the production of counterfeit medicines. However, there is another possibility. Islamophobic Israel advocates have claimed that ‘Iranian’ cells in the US were planning terror attacks.

The claims appear to be an attempt to fuel US aggression toward Iran and led to warnings that Israel itself is planning ‘false flag’ attacks in the US. The colony has a long and proven record of using such attacks to achieve political and military ends.
