If you were following the story at the time, or for that matter if you still are, you know that the strain of anthrax used in the Fall 2001 attacks was developed at Ft Dietrich, Maryland.
For the benefit of readers who learned geography in Texas, Maryland is in the United States. The anthrax was American.

The Ames strain of anthrax originated in America, yes, but that strain is available in at least two other countries that we know of, and God only knows who else has managed to steal it that we're not aware of. And anyone who believes that it couldn't possibly have been stolen is probably the type of person who believes everything he reads in the newspapers.
Sorry, but the government has absolutely no clue whatsoever who sent the anthrax or where it really came from. Nice try though.
