Anthrax

[Bangkok]

Whatever happened to the US anthrax scare?  Did I miss the arrests, or did it just fade away?

Guessing after a day of no answers that it has faded away.

 

Think this may have been a look at my left hand while my right hand is doing something I don't want you to see.

Osama bin laden was to blame for the anthrax scare, apparently it was his lamb !

[Peter Pedant]

erm it wasnt a scare.

there were cases of anthrax - case series reported in the New England Journal - including cute kid under one year of age AND a gory photie of what we might call wool sorter's disease - or malignant pustule

And they had a billion pieces of mail that they had to decontaminate by ironing apparently.

The DNA was sequenced and and and the nearest neighbour was found to be.....a strain from Fort Detrick.

Oh dear - this meant it was an inside job

A Texan (let's call him Uncle Tex) was in the frame and he sorta remained in the frame but was never charged. However he did lose his job and presumably is propping up a dole queue in some sink city somewhere.

Does that count as fade away, or does it count as they knew who did it but couldnt prove it?
