Report: Anthrax Spread Through Copy Machines
FBI investigators believe photocopy machines were the reason anthrax spores were spread throughout an office building in Boca Raton, where a tainted letter was mailed in last year’s attacks, according to a published report.
Federal investigators returned last month to the American Media Inc. building for 12 days, armed with new techniques for detecting large quantities of anthrax.
The investigators found anthrax spores in all of the copy machines in the three-story, 68,000-square-foot building, a source familiar with the investigation told the Palm Beach Post.
