Reflection

In September 11 2001 the US postal service received packages in the mail that is infected with anthrax. The anthrax infected 22 people, and 7 of them survived. Everyone around the world and US assumed this was bioterrorism but it’s not. The man who was responsible for spreading the Anthrax is an employ in army's biological warfare labs at Fort Detrick, Md. He worked there for 18 years. His name is Ivins. That they say he is brilliant but troubled scientists. Ivins got arrested and then he committed suicide when he finds out that the prosecutors were closing in on him. Ivins was one of the leading scientists, researching for new vaccines and cures for Anthrax exposure. Ivins also had a long history of homicidal threats, according to papers filed last week in local court by a social worker. After his death Ivins’s colleague, Steven Hatfill was wrongly suspected by the FBI. Steven Hatfill sued the government for 5.8 million, for falls accusation.
