US scientist 'commissioned anthrax report' three years ago
A scientist whose home was searched by FBI agents commissioned a report three years ago depicting a hypothetical anthrax attack by mail, it was reported today.
Dr Steven Hatfill, who has done work on germ defences for the US government, requested the study that described a fictional terrorist attack in which an envelope containing weapons-grade anthrax is opened in an office, the Baltimore Sun said.
