Now a third. Can't find the link but apprantly the US has had prior to these a total of 18 cases in the last 20th century.

Wasn't the case in Florida linked to an outbreak in the '50s.
Sky News has an update.

i also like the way the brithsh Home Seceratry play down the fears of the diease by saying that "the disease was not a suitable weapon for mass terrorism" without actually giving a reason why?

It's not a suitable weapon because the delivery system to infect a large amount of people is quite complex.

They mentioned something about Sarin gas being the same. The Sarin attack in Japan didn't kill that many people it should of because the delivery system wasn't good enough.

I saw the thing about Iowa this morning however they said on the news a while ago that the strain is possibly man made.
