Federal authorities investigating the three known letters that carried a Trenton postmark and contained anthrax have focused their investigation on a smaller part of the postal region served by the Hamilton processing center.

"Postal inspectors have narrowed the playing field down significantly from the original (46) post offices and the 635 drop boxes as the points of possible entry (of the anthrax letters)," Tony Esposito, a U.S. postal inspector and spokesman for the agency in Newark said.

Note that this Asif Khan guy works at a Greenwood Avenue Texaco station, as well as living at Greenwood Village. It was your idea, mindbender, that this is what put the name "Greendale School" in his or somebody else's head. This news about his place of work reinforces that idea. I wonder why the FBI is interested in the handwriting on the lease.

Think this is going to develop to the serrious indictment state. Too many "coincidences."

There is also much information that we do not have, (thank goodness.)

Of everything I have seen, this isthe most promising, because remember, these gents are also tied to the two men who took LA flight that was grounded in St. Louis.

Think the Greenwood, Greenvale thing could be very subliminal, butit is there.

Better days ahead. Semper Gumby

"You're seeing a number of garden-variety criminals being uncovered,"

Amazing what you find when you lift up a big rock.
Six caves, six postal routes? soon.

I have been toying with the newsstand angle for some time, and the fact that this guy Surta still is associated with one really caught my attention. The theory that's been on my mind is--place powdered anthrax between the pages of a magazine, perhaps especially a women's magazine, since those tend to have those little "fragrance" inserts--women tend to place their noses close to the inserts, and inhale rather deeply. (Not me, they make me sneeze!) Who, so far, has gotten the anthrax from non-mail sources? Maybe just coincidence, but aren't they all women? If I were the FBI, I'd be looking at this guy's newsstand. If that isn't what's being done, at least that's one angle they can cross off.
