Holy crap -- maybe that Anthrax case was a terrorist act!

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - The FBI is investigating the possibility that the anthrax bacteria detected in two Florida men is a result of terrorism or criminal action, The Associated Press has learned.

The bacteria that killed a man last week has been detected in the nose of a co-worker and on a computer keyboard in the newspaper office where both men worked, health officials said Monday.

"The FBI has been unable to find a source or cause the anthrax, but this kind of situation points to terrorism or criminal intent because it's so rare to have two people working in the same building who have inhaled anthrax bacteria," a senior law enforcement official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The FBI has sealed off the office building and is combing it for clues. Any workers in the building with flu-like symptoms will be tested for anthrax, officials said.

A report from Captain Obvious -

There has not been a case of Anthrax in 28 years. Now there are two. Coincidence?
 
for you conspiracy types, prolly the government testing out their new vaccine. :Q


btw i thought it was funny you got this snippet from iwon.com, hee hee.
 


<< Hmmm, this after first saying it was an isolated incident. WTF? >>



No, I believe the guy who reported it as an "isolated incident" said "we believe this is an isolated incident" he didn't confirm or give a fact of anything.

Given the current situation, i think it quite reasonable that they investigate that possibility. That an investigation is being conducted in no way reflects that is more likely the case to be an actual act of terrorism, however... it's simply common sense. I would think it more odd if they didn't perform a basic investigation, than that they are.
 
Does anyone know what these 2 guys did for a living. If they don't have a job that puts them in direct contact with farm animals and if they didn't have any other contact with these animals then how did they get anthrax?
 
This is getting pretty freaky. What are the symptoms of Anthrax? I work in Manhattan, it would so easy for them to let it lose in the subways 🙁

They were journalists I thought. I thought one of them went to a farm recently to talk to a cropduster...? if that is the case he could have gotten it from there - but not necessarily terrorism. Perhaps just cow crap or something? Me dunno.
