Anthrax: Man Arrested
Sky News
November 4, 2001
A man has been arrested after FBI agents investigating anthrax attacks searched his apartment.
They raided at least two apartments in Trenton, New Jersey.
Three of the letters contaminated with the potentially deadly spores were posted from Trenton.
Another case
The development came as anthrax was discovered at a third US post centre in New Jersey. State officials say one worker is already suspected of suffering from the skin form of the disease.
Witnesses said the arrest followed a three-hour search by FBI and immigration agents of an apartment where four "Middle Eastern" men were living.
The arrested man, identified by his brother Ilyas Chaudry as Allah Rakha, was understood to have been detained by US immigration authorities. FBI agents seized several bags of potential evidence from the flat.
Known source
Two other people were reported to have been detained in areas near the Trenton post office, which has emerged as the only known source of the anthrax contamination.
Four people have died and 13 others have been infected in what President George W Bush said was "a second wave of terrorist attacks upon our country".
Human experiment
In Britain, the Health and Safety Executive was reported to be planning an experiment, using human volunteers, in which spores mimicing anthrax will be released in a post sorting office to simulate a possible biological attack.
An HSE spokeswoman: "The whole point of this exercise is to discover how and why anthrax becomes airborne."
Postal workers in several countries, including the UK, were issued with gloves as a precaution against anthrax.

NBC tape sent to Giuliani contained anthrax
November 4, 2001 Posted: 1:06 PM EST (1806 GMT)
NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani confirmed Sunday that a tape sent by NBC News anchorman Tom Brokaw's office to City Hall contained anthrax.
Giuliani said the tape was sent in the first week of October, before Brokaw's assistant tested positive for the cutaneous form of the disease.
Giuliani said the tape sent by NBC was dropped off at the City Hall police desk, then was picked up by two people, including his chief of staff, Tony Carbonetti.
"Tony handled it, watched it," Giuliani said.
The mayor did not elaborate on what was on the tape, nor did he say why NBC News sent the tape to his office.
After the NBC case was reported, the tape was submitted for testing several times beginning October 23, and final results have turned up positive, he said.
Giuliani said none of the people who handled the tape have shown any symptoms, which usually occur within a week of exposure. No one is being treated with the antibiotic Cipro, he said.
Environmental testing for anthrax at City Hall has already been conducted since the tape was delivered last month, and results have been negative, he said.
But, Giuliani said, "We'll test again and go into more places in more detail."
The matter is still being investigated.
So far, 17 people have been confirmed to be infected with anthrax, with four confirmed deaths from the more serious inhaled form of the disease

Anthrax traces found at Washington VA hospital
November 3, 2001 Posted: 8:10 PM EST (0110 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A mailroom in the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center has tested positive for anthrax, the federal agency reported Saturday.
The mailroom is located in a hospital that houses 250 patients but is not near patient areas, said Phil Budahn, the VA's media relations director. But, he added, hospital officials are keeping "a close eye on patients."
Swabs were taken in the mailroom October 30 because the hospital receives its mail from the main Brentwood branch post office in Washington, the facility that processed an anthrax-laden letter sent to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Two Brentwood postal employees have died of inhalation anthrax, and two others are hospitalized with the same disease.
Of the 22 swabs, one was positive, Budahn said. Administrators closed the mailroom, he said.
Five mailroom employees have been on antibiotics since October 25, and investigators have not found evidence that anthrax has spread at the hospital, he said. "There is absolutely no indication this is a problem beyond the mailroom," Budahn said.
Hospital administrators at present are not considering moving patients, Budahn said.
There was actually a blue collection box directly in front of the apartment. They did test the box in front of the apartment. Results not known.
Our government and media are bent on blaming this on Patriots or militia or right wingers and not on the actual Arabs who the government is allowing to commit these anthrax attacks and murders.
All the solutions our government is bent on implementing are ones that involve taking away citizens rights, instead of enforcing existing immigration and deportation laws ewhich allow easy arrest, prosecution and deportation of non-citizens.
One more thing. Will these muslim women PLEASE begin to stand up and revolt against the cruelty of this control-freak religion of islam?
Did you forget the (sarcasm) flag?
If not, then I would write that as, "...in these trying times all terrorist shall give up more than their liberty if they set a stinkin' foot in America.."
Surely the CIA would know???
The CIA in the New World Order - Intelligence Challenges Through 2015 (Article From CIA Website)
Go the the thread above and and you will see that the CIA planned on these terror attacks occuring in America and accepted them as a necessary evil in achieving globalism(aka global government. The CIA also explain on it's site that these terror attacks would help unify the USA with (it's enemies) China and Russia, and the terror would facilitate (and make it acceptable to the Congress and American people)for the USA to share more of it's intelligence resources and military and other technologies with Russia & China among other nations(which before the increasing attacks were percieved as enemy nations).
This type of change is best known as sythesis.
In war time these 'domestic' terrorist (who only came here to conduct terrorism) are properly referred to as spys, infiltrators or saboteurs. These deserve the harshest punishments possible for utilizing biological weapons.
Pick up any telephone book in Idaho and you'll find at least a dozen Allah Rakha's, two or three A. Rakha's, one Al Rakha, and that doesn't even take into account the unlisted numbers! (/sarcasm)
Sometimes the truth is sicker than you'd ever want to know......The above clip is bone-chilling.
Excellent point. What does Islam stand for if not for the brutal oppression of women? And where is NOW in all of this? I'd think that they would be holding marches in the Muslim enclaves of America for the emancipation of Muslim women.
