After 18 months of Investigation the US Army scientist concluded that the Anthrax letters were made domestically. David Siegrist, a bioterrorism expert at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies said "It tends to support the idea that the anthrax came from a domestic source and probably not a state program," He also said . "It shows you can have a fairly sophisticated product with fairly rudimentary methods. Investigators found that the Anthrax was made from a "a pretty small operation", and the production of the anthrax "no more than a few thousand dollars,". (" Anthrax attacker was likley domestic; SCOTT SHANE Baltimore Sun Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 04-12-2003)
After this revelation investigators concluded that the Anthrax attacks had nothing to do with the September 11 attacks. (" Anthrax attacker was likley domestic; SCOTT SHANE Baltimore Sun Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 04-12-2003)
This even though the Anthrax letters had the date September 11, and was worded like something a Middle Eastern Terrorist would write. Here are some photos of the anthrax letters.
Could the Anthrax letters be related in a way that government investigators aren't looking. We can only hope that this lack of vision isn't politically motivated.
Domestic extremist and anthrax
Along with my mentions on my is Bush obscene page consider a rash of anthrax threat letters mailed to abortion clinics from February 18 to February 22 1999. Abortion providers received dozens of Anthrax threat letters during this time period (The New Bomb Threat; By T. Trent Gegax and Mark Hosenball Newsweek 03-22-1999)
Maybe a group of extremist finally got Anthrax, and what better time to launch an attack then during the biggest domestic terror attack in US history. To synch the deal all the had to do was to make this attack look like it came from the same group of terrorist. This means they senders would have to know of the attack before hand, and know who was going to launch it.
