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. Scientists 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.
