Anthrax Suspect Commits Suicide

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Anthrax-laced letters that killed five people and severely rattled the post-9/11 nation may have been part of an Army scientist's warped plan to test his cure for the deadly toxin, officials said Friday. The brilliant but troubled scientist committed suicide this week, knowing prosecutors were closing in.

The sudden naming of scientist Bruce E. Ivins as the top - and perhaps only - suspect in the anthrax attacks marks the latest bizarre twist in a case that has confounded the FBI for nearly seven years. Last month, the Justice Department cleared Ivins' colleague, Steven Hatfill, who had been wrongly suspected in the case, and paid him $5.8 million.

Ivins worked at the Army's biological warfare defense labs at Fort Detrick, Md., for 35 years until his death on Tuesday. He was one of the government's leading scientists researching vaccines and cures for anthrax exposure. But he also had a long history of homicidal threats, according to papers filed last week in local court by a social worker.

So is this a cover-up so that there would be no record of a second terrorist attack on the U.S. during President Bush's watch, or a cover-up for a plot to add to the post 9/11 fear that the Bush administration has been using to justify its many war crimes??? I guess we'll never know. It would appear that Mr. Ivins knew too much about something. Suicide. How convenient!!!
