The death last week of a Florida man who contracted the rare pneumonic form
of anthrax now seems likely to have been the result of a biological attack.
Anthrax bacilli were found on a keyboard at the office of The Sun newspaper in
Lantana, Florida, where the man worked. At least one of his colleagues was also
infected. 51¶¯Âþs are working to determine the strain of anthrax involved,
which might reveal its geographic origin. If confirmed, it will be the first
documented attack using anthrax.
