The search was carried out under the authority of a warrant, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Hatfill's spokesman, Pat Clawson, said Hatfill was not informed of the search and has not lived in the apartment in Frederick, Md., since Aug. 12. Hatfill's apartment has been searched twice before, the second time under warrant. ''He doesn't know anything about it if they did search the house,'' Clawson said. ''If they are looking for something, how come they didn't find it during the first two searches?'' Chris Murray, spokesman for the FBI's Washington field office had no comment on the matter. Five people were killed by anthrax-tainted letters sent through the mail last fall. The FBI has identified Hatfill as a ''person of interest'' in its investigation but says he is no more or less important than about 30 fellow scientists and researchers with the expertise and opportunity to conduct the attacks. Hatfill has repeatedly denied any involvement in the attacks and says the Justice Department is ruining his life by linking him to the crimes. He was fired Sept. 3 from a job at Louisiana State University after the Justice Department sent his supervisor an e-mail ordering that Hatfill be barred from working on department funded projects. Hatfill, 48, worked until 1999 for Fort Detrick's Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in Maryland. It is the primary custodian of the virulent Ames strain of anthrax found in the anthrax letters.
