Specially trained FBI scientists on Wednesday surgically opened an anthrax-tainted letter sent to U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and began extracting evidence they hope will lead them to the person who launched a bioterrorism attack by mail more than two months ago.
The FBI said it believes the Leahy letter, as well as three other contaminated letters, may have been sent by an adult male operating alone in the United States. The attack has been blamed for five deaths and at least 13 illnesses in recent months.
