The 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate, Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan Ecologist, reiterated her claim today that the AIDS virus was a deliberately created biological agent.

“Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that. Us black people are dying more than any other people on this planet,” Ms. Maathai told a press conference in Nairobi a day after winning the prize for her work in human rights and reversing deforestation across Africa.

“It’s true that there are some people who create agents to wipe out other people. If there were no such people, we could have not have invaded Iraq,” she said.

“We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam Hussein had made, or was in the process of creating agents of biological warfare,” said Ms. Maathai.

“In fact it (the HIV virus) is created by a scientist for biological warfare,” she added.

“Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious,” Ms. Maathai said.

The United States on Friday congratulated Ms. Maathai on winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but tempered its praise over her claims about AIDS.

“She said (HIV/AIDS) was invented as a bio-weapon in some laboratory in the West,” a senior State Department official said. ”We don’t agree with that.”
