PO8),
a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from

attack from terror organizations and states with active biological weapon

responders throughout the country as well as the U.S. Army. The kits are able
to detect anthrax spores well below the threshold for an infectious dose.

detection
kits to a firm that deals with terrorist-related activities on a weekly
basis," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT's Chief Executive Officer. "We plan to
expand our efforts in providing detection solutions to our partner in Israel,"
he
