Two Chinese nationals are accused of smuggling a "potential agroterrorism weapon" via a noxious fungus into the U.S.

Yunqing Jian, 33, allegedly tried to bring Fusarium graminearum into the U.S., a fungus that federal prosecutors allege could be used as an agricultural terrorism weapon.

Two Chinese researchers were charged with smuggling a biological pathogen that they planned to study at a University of Michigan lab, a complaint says.
