University halts baboon anthrax study over animal-rights concern

The baboons would have been injected with the vaccine and then exposed to various strains of anthrax, including the Ames strain, the one used in the 2001 anthrax attacks that infected 22 people and killed five. Researchers would then have studied the animals in an effort to better understand the progression of infection and the vaccine's effectiveness.

FBI on anthrax case - Ivins did it and he acted alone

The FBI looks about ready to close the anthrax case. From the article: "In a news conference following the release of a trove of evidence in the case, federal prosecutor Jeffrey A. Taylor said, 'We are confident that Dr. Ivins was the only person responsible for the attacks.' He said the 'key breakthrough' in the case was a scientific advance that allowed investigators to trace the anthrax mailed to victims in the fall of 2001 to a flask of the bacterium that Ivins 'created and solely maintained.' Taylor called that flask 'the murder weapon.'"

Anthrax suspect commits suicide - case closed? A) Yes B) No

Is this case effectively dead? A 62 year old scientist who worked for the military and was a suspect in the Anthrax mailings has committed suicide. From the article: "WASHINGTON (Aug. 1) -- A top U.S. biodefense researcher apparently committed suicide just as the Justice Department was about to file criminal charges against him in the anthrax mailings that traumatized the nation in the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a published report."

A well written comment from the comments section:

"After six years of investigation, it appears one of the 14 or so people likely to be the culprit conveniently kills himself. This happens just before the election and just as the FBI says they are going to arrest him."
