BOCA RATON, Fla. (Reuters) - A third person has tested positive for anthrax in Florida and the probe into the source of the disease is now a criminal investigation, officials said on Wednesday.
"We have an additional employee that has been found to have anthrax present," said FBI special agent in charge, Hector Pesquera.
Acting U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis said the investigation was now considered a criminal probe. Pesquera stressed there was no indication the anthrax was produced or caused by a terrorist group or individuals related to the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Investigators have been looking into the source of anthrax that killed one man at the offices of American Media Inc. in Boca Raton, Florida. A mailroom employee, was also exposed to the disease and on Wednesday officials announced a 35-year-old woman tested positive.
Officials stressed the exposure was limited to the AMI building.

No word yet that I have heard if they have it, or just asymptomatic. I would seriously doubt this is at all terrorist related. It really would not make a good target. However, I do think it is criminal, and that some nutjob did do this.
The web is slower posting a link than the radio. I just heard it confirmed on the radio. He tested positive. Now as a wonderful guy has stated "lose the 'tude"
From the Associated Press:
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Federal authorities said Wednesday that a third person has been exposed to anthrax and the case has become the subject of a criminal investigation.
``There is another individual that has tested positive for presence of the virus,'' U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis at a news conference that included officials with the FBI, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state health department.
The 35-year-old woman, whose name wasn't released, has been hospitalized and is being treated with antibiotics. Her condition was immediately known.
Lewis said authorities are now conducting a criminal probe into the source of the anthrax, which killed a man last week and was found in the nasal passages of a co-worker.
Both men worked in the Boca Raton headquarters of American Media, a supermarket tabloid publisher.
Lewis said the investigation would attempt to determine how, when and why the bacteria got into the building.
The woman was one of more than 1,000 people who have been tested by health officials for presence of the dangerous bacterium. Most have recently been inside the AMI building.
Robert Stevens, 63, died Friday of inhaled anthrax, a rare and particularly lethal form of the disease. Mailroom co-worker Ernesto Blanco, 73, has been in a Miami hospital since Monday after he was found to have anthrax spores in his nose.

Doesn't matter who posts - so many threads have been proven wrong the past few weeks that I don't trust any off-hand reports without a source. This could be true, but you need to view most "information" with initial doubt.
I ask and I get my news sources. Hmm, what else do I want? 
EDIT: The retaliation was uncalled for. You know what I am talking about.

<< All the women who post here are sexy; everyone knows that. >>
Thank you Glen. I was about to take exception to that.... ;-)
<< << Don't post unless you have news references. >>
new rule? >>
Not a rule, but an element of "netiquette". Given the speed at which information travels, it is imperative that you make the effort to not put forth misinformation. Including a link to a source is a very effective way of doing this.
<< All the women who post here are sexy; everyone knows that. >>
Primarily because 99% of the "women" here are simply the imaginations of lonely males.

Anthrax is a bacteria, not a virus.
We all have much to learn in this brave new world we have found ourselves in. Let us not forget the lessons of the past such as courtesy to each other.
