| ---------------------------------------- Breaking News Alert: Report questions scientific evidence in FBI's anthrax case February 15, 2011 11:03:58 AM ---------------------------------------- A panel of prominent scientists is casting new doubt on scientific evidence that was a key part of the FBI's case against Bruce E. Ivins, the deceased Army scientist accused of carrying out the deadly 2001 anthrax attacks. The National Academy of Sciences, in a report issued Tuesday by its research arm, questioned the link between a flask of anthrax bacteria in Ivins's lab at Fort Detrick, Md., and the anthrax-infested letters that killed five people and sickened 17 others. The Justice Department has said genetic testing conclusively linked the letters to spores in the flask -- labeled RMR-1029 -- found at the laboratory, where Ivins was a longtime researcher before committing suicide in 2008. The government closed the case last year after concluding that Ivins had single-handedly prepared and mailed the deadly anthrax spores, which terrorized a nation still reeling from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/HXJVEI/V1BN4N/ADTROK/I88IBL/6JNI9/GX/h For more information, visit washingtonpost.com ---------------------------------------- Get closer to the story.
