A Newsnight investigation
raised the possibility that
there was a secret CIA
project to investigate
methods of sending anthrax
through the mail which went
madly out of control.
The shocking assertion is that
a key member of the covert operation may
have removed, refined and eventually posted
weapons-grade anthrax which killed five
people.
In the wake of Sept 11th, the anthrax attacks
caused panic throughout the States and
around the world. But has the FBI found the
whole case too hot to handle? Our science
editor Susan Watts reported from Washington.
