| Anthrax Found on a 3rd Letter From Trenton |
| 2001-10-21 |
Investigators said yesterday that a letter discovered Friday night at the New York Post had tested positive for anthrax. Federal authorities and the New York City police said the letter, which was unopened, was postmarked Trenton, N.J., and was addressed in handwriting similar to earlier letters containing anthrax that were found at NBC in New York and the office of Senator Tom Daschle in Washington. Both of those letters had also been sent from Trenton. Evidence of anthrax was also found yesterday in Washington, in the mailroom of the House of Representatives, the third site on Capitol Hill where spores have been discovered. The letters to both The Post and NBC were postmarked Sept. 18, and the letter to Senator Daschle was postmarked Oct. 8. The letter to The Post was described by the police and federal authorities as containing a small amount of a powdery substance and it was addressed to "the Editor of The New York Post." |
