CHINESE COUPLE CAUGHT SNEAKING CROP-KILLING FUNGUS INTO MICHIGAN LAB?!
2 Chinese nationals tried smuggling a deadly fungus into the U.S. that can destroy crops and poison food.
Prosecutors say Zunyong Liu flew it into Detroit for his girlfriend Yunqing Jian, who works at a University of Michigan lab not cleared for biohazards.
The fungus, Fusarium graminearum, devastates wheat, corn and rice, causes vomiting and liver damage, and is labeled a potential agroterrorism weapon.
It triggers billions in crop losses yearly.
Officials say Jian’s research was funded by China and that she’s a Communist Party member.
Liu was deported.
Jian faces charges of conspiracy, smuggling, visa fraud and lying to officials.
U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon Jr. called it a major national security threat.
