FBI Reportedly Has Anthrax Suspect Slideshows AP Photo Tracking Anthrax WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI (news - web sites) reportedly has a chief suspect in its anthrax investigation. The Washington Times reports federal authorities are looking at a former U.S. scientist. They believe the unidentified scientist learned how to make a weapons-grade form of the deadly bacteria at a government laboratory. The paper cites law enforcement and other sources as saying authorities are targeting the scientist after interviewing more than 300 people tied to the government's anthrax program. Five people ended up dying after anthrax was found in letters sent to Florida, New York, Connecticut and Washington last fall. Sources tell the newspaper the FBI has known for more than three months the person responsible for sending the letters was a U.S. citizen. The sources also say FBI agents have interviewed the suspect several times and have searched his house. They say he now works as a contractor in the Washington area. Sources say he was fired twice from government jobs and had reportedly made a threat to use anthrax following the Sept. 11 attacks. dailynews.yahoo.com
