Uncovered Biolab in Vegas, Ties to Chinese National

It's April 6th.

Welcome to Canada News Today, Powered by AI.

Las Vegas Police had a residential house turned Airbnb on January 31 after guesting

there fell deathly ill.

Inside, they uncovered an unauthorized biolab packed with weapons, refrigerators, full of

suspicious liquid vials, and lab gear.

Over 1,000 samples went straight to the National Bialphorinsic Analysis Center for testing,

and they napped 55-year-old Israeli house.

Roger Auree Solomon, on charges like dumping hazardous waste in illegal firearm possession.

That house had ties to Geobay Zoo, a Chinese national link to the Chinese Communist Party,

who got busted in 2023 for running A, similar secret biolab in Ridley, California.

Phone records show Zoo called the Vegas spot around 400 times last year, though his lawyers

deny any knowledge of shady activity.

Experts in national security are sounding alarms, warning these labs flew under the radar

for years, with no federal oversight.

One analyst pointed out how the Ridley spot got found only by chance through a local

code check, and now, folks fear more could be operating.

Nationwide, maybe even prep for bioterrorism.

Zoo's rap sheet runs deep.

He got hit with a $330 million fine in Canada for stealing U.S. cattle tech to ship back

to China.

Then bolted to America under a fake name in 2015.

He set up labs in Fresno and Ridley, stocked with vials labeled for stuff like Ebola,

COVID, and hepatitis, plus dead test mice everywhere.

Investigators are still digging into those Vegas samples, while Zoo sits in federal custody

awaiting trial later this month in Sacramento, on fraud, and misbranding charges.

This whole mess spotlights huge gaps in spotting these hidden operations before they turn

into real threats.
