Pakistani linked to anthrax mailbox
MICHAEL BEACH in New York

AMERICAN investigators are hunting a Pakistani man, who overstayed his visa, so they can question him about two anthrax-laced letters.

The manhunt started after investigators homed in on a mailbox believed to have been used by bioterrorists to send the two letters.

Investigators made the breakthrough after a mail carrier in Ewing, New Jersey, came down with the disease.

Two anthrax-infected letters – one sent to NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw, the other to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle – were postmarked at a regional mail centre that serves the Ewing area.

Another employee at the centre has developed skin anthrax.

A swarm of FBI agents descended on Ewing, west of New York, yesterday to door-knock the woman's mail route and check post office security videos.

A source said investigations centred on a Pakistani man, who had left the area since the letters were sent.

You heard it first here on Free Republic!

[atafak]

From an Aussie paper! Where the h*ll is the American media? Too busy telling everybody how afraid they are, I guess. No time for news on who did it. This Pakistani's name and face should have been spread across the world's media days ago.

BUMP!

IF the report is true... they might want to see if the guy is vacationing in the Bahamas...

Anthrax in the Islands

This news will no doubt be horribly disappointing -- for the American liberal news media.

They were champing at the bit to blame "home grown" "right wing" 'militia elements' as the culprit behind the spate of Anthrax mailings.

Wasn't there a kid who predicted the WTC coming down the day before it happened, who's father was Pakistani?

[atafak]

Yes, my thought too. And did he spend time in florida as well?

Another anthrax letter tied to Trenton

[Cool Guy]

I think, the kids father went back to Pakistan and is still there.

[JohnHuang2]

Thanks for the link =^)

[atafak]

Well, you wouldn't want the media to hint that those, who have sworn that they will destroy us, might be guilty, would you?

[atafak]

Possibly of interest.

[Ymani Cricket]

That's probably why they didn't break it. And they probably won't ever pick it up until/unless they are forced to. I'll be suprised if they pick it up. Let's wait and see.

Good call John!

BREAKING ANTHRAX NEWS PING

[Clinton's a rapist]

On Nightline the other night, they had a segment on the Pakistani fundamentalist schools where they program these robots from the age of five. Crazy stuff. We are going to have to kick the sh*t out of these people, just like we did the Japs in World War II. I don't expect this to be over anytime soon.

[classygreeneyedblonde]

And we just gave Pakistan 300 million...hmmmmmmmmmmm

[atafak]

They may be keeping it quiet at Bush's request. Would not want to disturb Pakistan by accusing one of their noble citizens of biowar.

[Sabertooth]

I saw that.

Really monstrous abuse of children.
