Newspaper: Bio researcher whose home was searched commissioned 1999 anthrax
mail attack study
Thu Jun 27,10:20 AM ET

FORT DETRICK, Maryland - A biodefense researcher whose home was searched by
FBI ( news - web sites) agents commissioned a 1999 study depicting a
hypothetical anthrax attack by mail, The (Baltimore) Sun newspaper reported
Thursday.


The study was commissioned by Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, 48, while he was
working in McLean, Virginia, for defense contractor Science Applications
International Corp., the Maryland newspaper said.

The study was written by bioterrorism expert William C. Patrick III and
describes placing 2.5 grams of Bacillus globigii, an anthrax simulant, in a
standard business envelope, according to the Sun.

The newspaper said portions of the study were read to it by a person who has
a copy.

Also this week, ABC News television reported that Hatfill attended medical
school in Zimbabwe - at the time Rhodesia - where he lived near a Greendale
Elementary School. Greendale School was the phony return address used in the
anthrax letter attacks.

A telephone message by The Associated Press left Thursday for an FBI
spokesman in Washington, seeking comment on the reports, was not immediately
returned.

Hatfill's telephone at the Detrick Plaza Apartments has been disconnected
and nobody answered a knock on the door Wednesday by an Associated Press
reporter.

Authorities said Hatfill volunteered to have the apartment searched to clear
his name.

Hatfill has denied involvement in the anthrax mailings, complaining to The
Sun in a March telephone message that he had been fired from the defense
contractor and blaming news media inquiries.

"I've been in this field for a number of years, working until 3 o'clock in
the morning, trying to counter this type of weapon of mass destruction, and,
sir, my career is over at this time," Hatfill said.

Hatfill worked in the virology division of the U.S. Army Medical Institute
of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick, base spokesman Chuck Dasey said. He
worked for two years at the institute on a fellowship from the National
Research Council ( news - web sites), Dasey said.

He stopped working at Fort Detrick in September 1999 and was employed by
Science Applications until March 4.

Although Hatfill likely had access to anthrax in labs shared with
bacteriology researchers, his primary duties didn't involve working with
anthrax, Dasey said.

Five people died in the anthrax attacks that began in late September.
