"U.K. foot-and-mouth outbreak linked to lab"
From http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20118069/:
"Britain's top veterinary official said the virus was not one found in animals, and instead matched a strain being held at nearby disease-research and vaccine production facilities.
"This is a strain ... that is contained in the Pirbright facility and is associated with vaccine production," Reynolds told Sky News television. She said authorities were investigating biosecurity arrangements at the laboratory site."
I define "contained" as "can't get out"--but, apparently others have different definitions.
