Hunt continues for anthrax mailers |
2001-10-27 |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The hunt for those responsible for deadly anthrax mailings in the United States is going on both at home and abroad. Playing down reports that the focus of the search had shifted to the possibility that domestic extremists, rather than chief global terrorism suspect Osama bin laden were behind the anthrax attacks, a U.S. intelligence official said ``no definitive conclusion has been reached.'' ``I don't think we've ruled anything out at this point,'' the official told Reuters. The Washington Post reported on Saturday that FBI and CIA investigators believe extremists in the United States, not connected to bin Laden, are probably behind the use of the postal system to deliver anthrax. |
