Saturday October 27, 4:50 AM First case of anthrax linked to suspicious mail confirmed in Pakistan A local employee at a foreign bank in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi has contracted anthrax, the doctor treating him told AFP. The man was admitted to the private Aga Khan hospital this week after coming in contact with a suspicious letter at the bank, the doctor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said. The doctor said the patient's contition was not life threatening. "He definitely will not die. His condition is okay. He will be out in a week or so," the doctor said. The anthrax case is the first in Pakistan linked to suspicious mail following a series of similar apparent biological weapon attacks in the United States. Fourteen people in the United States have contracted the disease through either inhalation or the less serious manifestation, skin anthrax, after spores were sent in the mail. The attacks began after the September 11 suicide plane terrorist attacks on New York and Washington but US authorities have not been able to determine who is behind them. Aga Khan hospital officials confirmed this week it had received three possible anthrax samples delivered in letters to at least two foreign banks in Karachi. The doctor said early Saturday the man he was treating was the only person at the hospital to have contracted the disease. He did not name the bank but said it was a branch of a major international financial institution located in the business district of southern Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city and commercial hub. -- Best wishes I believe in compulsory cannibalism.
