Conspiracy theory alert: Anthrax suspect death

[Gromit]

The 2001 Anthrax attacks in the US was an inside job. There have seen many suspects, the FBIs no.1 suspect for the past 6 years was a Government scientist called Dr. Steven J. Hatfill.

A month ago, he was awarded $5.82million against the US Government, and it was clear that charges relating to his involvement would not be filed.

The US media have now announced that the main suspect has killed himself. This man is called man called Bruce Ivins. Most people who have followed the case have never previously heard of him until his death.

After 6 years of believing Hatfill was the Anthrax Mailer, a new suspect has been identified within a month, and apparently killed himself.

The FBI have apparently solved the case. The suspect is dead so there will never be any evidence tested in court, and this embarrassing saga can be closed.

Only, it sounds like a cover up. All very convenient. Friends of the dead man are not happy with how this is being reported (See link).

Conspiracy or case closed?

both, perhaps; they'll certainly close the case with relief, but who will ever know if they have pinned it on the right man?
