anthrax couriers being sent by terrorists

FBI impounds two US aircraft over anthrax alert

The FBI has impounded two jets at separate US airports in a possible anthrax alert.

The two Northwest Airlines planes have been held at San Francisco Airport and Seattle-Tacoma Airport.

Both flew in from Japan and there are suggestions couriers may have carried anthrax on board.

Northwest Airlines spokesman Bill Mellon says five FBI, US Customs and immigration officials boarded the Seattle-bound flight after it landed as scheduled, and removed two passengers.

He says the remaining 201 passengers and 17 crew members have been released.

According to Sky News, the Boeing being held on the runway at San Francisco took off from Narita, Japan.

looks like Taliban caught wind of infiltration plan

Hmm. The Taliban can no longer trust those who purport to support them. An interesting development.
