FBI Focusing on 'About Four' Suspects in 2001 Anthrax Attacks

FBI Focusing on 'About Four' Suspects in 2001 Anthrax Attacks
Friday, March 28, 2008

By Catherine Herridge and Ian McCaleb

WASHINGTON — The FBI has narrowed its focus to "about four" suspects in the 6 1/2-year investigation of the deadly anthrax attacks of 2001, and at least three of those suspects are linked to the Army’s bioweapons research facility at Fort Detrick in Maryland, FOX News has learned.

Among the pool of suspects are three scientists — a former deputy commander, a leading anthrax scientist and a microbiologist — linked to the research facility, known as USAMRIID.

The FBI has collected writing samples from the three scientists in an effort to match them to the writer of anthrax-laced letters that were mailed to two U.S. senators and at least two news outlets in the fall of 2001, a law enforcement source confirmed.

...................

A leading theory is that the anthrax was stolen from Fort Detrick and then sealed inside the letters. A law enforcement source said the FBI is essentially engaged in a process of elimination.

1. I wonder why Faux news would
bring this up now? Be very afraid only Pukes can protect you. 6 1/2 yrs later they still can't find 1 looney, or Osama Bin Laden. But they still claim to be the competent ones? anyone who believes anything on Faux news needs help or deprograming.

5. In the end, the Bush admin's FBI list of suspects caps at five:
Sibel Edmonds
Don Siegelman
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
Skinner


What? You mean Edmonds, Skinner and Obama aren't scientists? :crazy:
