Grosso, indeed...
Tim Blair has discovered a possible OBL "Boys From Brazil" plot:
The world's first cloned human embryo is the son of a rich Arab, according to claims made by Severino Antinori, the Italian fertility specialist.Posted by Dr. Frank at April 9, 2002 02:48 PM | TrackBackDr Antinori said that the embryo was the clone of a VIP and that he had been experimenting to produce human clones "in an Islamic country".
Dr Antinori has told Giancarlo Calzolari, a friend and science reporter at Il Tempo newspaper in Rome, that the pregnancy is real and that he has a "limitless supply of money" for his experiments. Mr Calzolari said that he had been contacted by the doctor on Friday.
"He told me it was a clone of an important, wealthy personality," Mr Calzolari said. "However, he was vague when I asked him the name of the woman and to at least describe the father. He would only say that he was a grosso personaggio [a big cheese]."
