Lake linked to anthrax Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_779478.html http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_779478.html Lake linked to anthrax terror attacks The series of anthrax mail attacks in the US which followed the September 11 atrocities in 2001 have been linked to a lake in Maryland. The lake may be drained after US agents suggested it may have been the site where anthrax was assembled or where evidence was dumped. The plan stems from a new FBI theory that the person behind the attacks could have packed the spores under water without being infected or leaving traces. The theory is based on evidence recovered there according to the Washington Post. The attacks, 19 months ago, killed five people and made 13 others ill. Sources describe a clear box, with holes that could accommodate gloves to protect the user during work. So-called glove boxes are commonly used to handle dangerous pathogens. Also recovered were vials wrapped in plastic. Some investigators said the water theory is the result of the FBI's interest in Steven Hatfill, a doctor and bioterrorism expert who formerly worked as a researcher at a facility which keeps the strain found in the envelopes sent to the victims. Attorney General John Ashcroft has described Hatfill as "a person of interest" in the investigation. Hatfill used to live about eight miles from the lake. His lawyer, Thomas Connolly, called the water theory "far-fetched." He said Hatfill had nothing to do with the anthrax crimes. © Associated Press Story filed: 12:56 Monday 12th May 2003
