"Anthrax scare at Missouri university
Scare at University of Missouri-Rolla was "bogus""


Posted: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 at 2:08 PM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ROLLA, MO (AP) -- Authorities say that a student's anthrax threat in a building at the University of Missouri-Rolla was "bogus."

Twenty-three people remain quarantined until authorities can determine whether they need to be decontaminated.

Early Tuesday, police used a stun gun to subdue the unnamed foreign student who said he had a bomb and anthrax inside the school's civil engineering building. Authorities said at a late-morning news briefing that a white powdery substance the man had with him was probably not anthrax.

Police said the student was decontaminated and taken to a hospital before being locked up at Rolla police headquarters. Charges are expected to be filed as soon as Tuesday afternoon. A school spokesman described the man as an "international" student but not reveal his name or nationality."
