Documents Link Anthrax Scientist to Terrorism Warning

Source Article HERE.

From 'Newsroom America': Emails ordered released by a federal judge bolster the government's case that a scientist who killed himself earlier this week was probably solely responsible for the 2001 anthrax attacks in the U.S. Moreover, the government said, the scientist - Dr. Bruce Ivins - was the sole custodian as a microbiologist at Fort Detrick, Maryland, of the particular strain of anthrax used in the attacks, though he wasn't the only one who had access to it. The emails warned that Osama bin Laden's "terrorists for sure have anthrax and sarin gas" and have "just decreed death to all Jews and all Americans." Who the emails were sent to was redacted before they were released, reports said. U.S. law enforcement officials released the hundreds of pages of material to address the growing questions about the strength of its evidence against the military scientist.
