FBI Says No Prime Suspect in Anthrax Mailings

The FBI says it's still without a prime suspect in the anthrax investigation. Bureau spokesman Bill Carter says they've conducted hundreds of interviews but that "there is no prime suspect" who might have mailed those anthrax-tainted letters. The Washington Times had reported that the investigation is focusing on a former scientist who worked at Fort Detrick in Maryland. Two postal workers from the Brentwood mail facility in Northeast died from inhalation anthrax, while two others had anthrax but survived. Brentwood remains shut, months after an anthrax-laced letter went through there on its way to Senator Tom Daschle's office, where it was opened.
