Talk:2001 anthrax attacks
|
|
I heard a report on NPR that the CDC had declared that the package sent to Microsoft in Reno tested negative for anthrax. But I can't find a newspaper article or other info to confirm that. Anybody hear this? --corvus13
OK, NPR repeated today that the Reno tests came up negative. --corvus13
We need to delete this vandalism but I can't find the previous version.
This really needs updating. No mention of the anthrax letters - at least three of them; the dozens of buildings that have been contaminated - both government and post office; the thousands taken Cipro and why that particular antibiotic, the thousands of anthrax scares worldwide; the two US embassies/consulates overseas that found anthrax; etc.; etc. I don't have the time now. ---rmhermen
In reference to the timeline, I don't have the exact details, but at some point during the anthrax scare, it was found that mail from the tabloid in Florida had arrived in Montreal, and there was a huge kerfuffle with a large portion of downtown being cordoned off while the mail was carefully removed and found to be harmless.
- I found and added information on this incident. -montréalais

Surely this should be moved to something like 2001 anthrax attack scares as there were no attacks weren't there? JOHN COLLISON | (Ludraman) 20:51, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Act of a desperate american rather than pure terrorism?
Wasn't there an american scientist at a chemical weapons research centre in the US who was found guilty, or at least highly suspect for being the one who sent the letters containing anthrax?
- I guess you mean Steven Hatfill. He got a lot of media attention, but was never charged with anything and is now suing the US government for defamation. The article was mentioning him in the last paragraph, I moved the text to a more prominent place in the introduction. Andris 10:12, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
If I would try to have a good protection against anthrax, I would do alot of testing including aerosol test with weaponsgrade anthrax. So the USAMRIID or some military facilities are also a possible source of this stuff.
You can't sue someone for "ruining your life." What is Hatfill actually suing for? Defamation? Adam 10:49, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
