FBI to Conduct More Searches in Anthrax Probe

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI (news - web sites), investigating the 2001 deadly anthrax attacks, said on Friday it is conducting more searches for evidence on public land in Frederick, Maryland.

Following up on last month's searches, the FBI said the new searches were related to its investigation into the origin of the anthrax-laced letters mailed in September and October 2001, which resulted in five deaths.

"Based on water testing already conducted, there is no indication of any threat to public health or safety associated with our search activities," the FBI said in a brief statement.

Law enforcement officials declined to link the new searches to Steven Hatfill, a former U.S. Army scientist who has been identified as a "person of interest" in the investigation.

Hatfill, whose former home in Frederick was searched twice last year, has denied any involvement in the anthrax attacks.

Hatfill, a germ warfare expert, used to work for the Army Medical Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick, which is also located in Frederick and is the center of the nation's biological warfare defense research.

Hatfill, at a news conference in August, said he had never worked with anthrax, asserted his innocence and blasted the government's handling of the case.
