"Investigators suspect that a single person, perhaps a deranged U.S. resident with a biochemistry background, may be behind the attacks. Until they come up with some evidence that a single person is behind this, then I will treat these kind of claims as disinformation. Everything that was said before these attacks started indicated that anthrax was too hard for one individual to make, unless they had experience from working in a bio-weapons program. I don't think the targeting is odd at all. Hitting at senior American politicians and journalists makes perfect sense. Of course the anthrax doesn't always get to its intended target...I don't think that the postal workers were intended victims. The only one that is odd is the attack on the tabloid. I think this was some sort of test run, and the tabloid was selected because it was close to the terrorists' operating base in Florida. The "anthrax mail" is generating lots of headlines with a very small amount of anthrax and with little risk of the terrorists being caught. It's been a very successful tactic for Al-Qaida.
