>>New Jersey Mailbox Tests Positive for Anthrax
Mon Aug 12, 9:27 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. postal inspectors investigating the anthrax
mailings linked to five deaths have discovered a mailbox that tested positive
for traces of the bacteria, a postal official said on Monday.

The mailbox was found on Thursday night in Princeton, New Jersey, and
has been sent to a U.S. Army facility in Aberdeen, Maryland, for forensic
analysis, U.S. Postal Service spokesman Dan Mihalko told Reuters.

He said the mailbox was discovered as investigators checked hundreds of
boxes from which mail is funneled to a postal sorting center in Trenton, New
Jersey, where four anthrax-laced letters were postmarked last year.

"We've been looking at all the mailboxes that feed into the Trenton facility,"
Mihalko said. "One of them did test positive." <<
