ANTHRAX IN PAKISTAN By Mike Collett-White RABAT, Afghanistan (Reuters) (snip) In Pakistan, anthrax, the bacteria that has killed four people in the United States, turned up at a newspaper office. "We received a press release envelope which contained white powder... and it has tested positive for containing anthrax spores," Mehmood Sham, editor of Pakistan's largest Urdu-language newspaper Daily Jang, told Reuters by telephone. The private Agha Khan University Hospital identified anthrax spores and staff were being put on medication, he said. It was the first confirmed case of anthrax outside the United States, where 16 people have been infected since the bacteria began turning up in the mail in October. An official close to the investigation and Western diplomats said there were two previous cases of anthrax in Pakistan, which has thrown its weight behind U.S. strikes on Afghanistan, but that authorities did not want to spark panic over the first two. U.S. officials have been unable to trace the source of the anthrax, but say it might be linked to bin Laden. Hard to know what to believe any more, but if this story is true, and the anthrax matches the US attacks, it may be the first indication of a foreign source (edit: as well as the German story you posted). Don't think Aryan Nation guys would bother sending letters to a Pakistan newspaper
