FBI releases Anthrax case documents

In case you missed the announcements (as if you could!), the FBI has released their evidence against Dr. Bruce Ivins, the government anthrax researcher who took his life last week. Dr. Ivins is suspected of perpetuating what amounts to the worst case of bioterrorism in U.S. history, killing 5 people and sickening 17 others, while essentially shutting down critical parts of the Postal System.

FBI officials lay out the case against Dr. Ivins

The FBI has an overview page, updated today, entitled “Anthrax Investigation: Closing a Chapter“. This page offers ‘press release’ type information, but it also includes a “By the Numbers” section, and links to a photo gallery of some of the tainted envelopes (and the process that it took to open suspected envelopes under safe conditions) and the actual court documents, from the Department of Justice.
