Newsweek said US intelligence denied that the Corona virus (Covid-19) was a biological weapon made in a Chinese laboratory, but indicated that there was a different opinion within the intelligence services.
The magazine added that a report dated March 27 stating that US intelligence could not determine that the virus was deliberately made in Chinese laboratories.
The magazine pointed out that it had interviewed a number of scientists, who all rejected the hypothesis that the virus was deliberately launched.
A US intelligence spokesman told the magazine that the intelligence services had not agreed on a single theory of the spread of the virus.
And American media recently claimed that the virus leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, where the virus first appeared, while US President Donald Trump attacked Beijing, accusing it of being responsible for the spread of the epidemic because of the way it dealt with it.
The US state of Missouri has also filed a lawsuit against the Chinese government and the Communist Party of China for hiding information and not doing enough to prevent the virus from spreading.
In the context, the Australian government said last Wednesday that Prime Minister Scott Morrison asked for support to open an international investigation into this pandemic, in telephone calls with US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Australia's bid to start an independent review of the origin of the virus, its outbreak and WHO's response to it, has sparked sharp criticism from China, at which time Beijing accused Australian lawmakers of receiving guidance from the United States.
The virus first appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei Province, and soon spread to all parts of the world.
