Note also that the Rhodesian [now Zimbabwe] Anthrax outbreak which resulted in some 10K fatalities from 1978-80, as described in Dr. Meryl Nass's report, occurred in the same approximate timeframe as that of the April 1979 Soviet *laboratory accident* at Sverdlovsk [now Ekaterinburg] which reportedly affected 94 people and killed at least 64 of them. The limited scope of the Soviet outbreak in which the first victim died after four days with the last one dying six weeks later also appears more similar to the effects of the US *anthrax mail bombs*, though that may in part be explained by the probability that the intended target in Rhodesia was that country's cattle farmers, with the fatalities a result of ingestion of the meat from fatally diseased cattle.

It's also possible that the Soviets had developed a vaccine specific to their weapons-grade strain or had determined an antibiotic regime efficient in limiting the scope of their problem

The letter is probably a bogus copycat letter...

I agree. From the look of the envelope and the tone of the letter, it certainly does look like a copycat. It raises a question though: Could a copycat (any copycat) also have anthrax spores and prepare a second wave of anthrax letters?

Good find! Does anyone know of any photos on the web of other copycats/hoaxes? (The ones available on Yahoo of the photos released by the Justice Department are all I've seen.)

Does anyone know of any photos on the web of other copycats/hoaxes?

I haven't seen any others. Has anybody seen any photos of the Leahy letter or envelope?

We've been researching like crazy the "why Leahy-Daschle-Brokaw and not Kennedy-CNN" etc. questions.

We're still looking, but I just wanted to throw this out for the discussion: Leahy and Daschle are strongly in favor of an International Criminal Court. Some NBC editorials I've found also lean in favor.

I haven't been looking for leads on the Florida anthrax because we don't have the envelope and therefore don't know the intended recipient. Plus, they ran a nasty article about Osama as I recall...

Thank you so much for the information!!!

You're welcome. And btw, the FBI *Anthrax letters* photos can be seen *here*

[Alamo-Girl]

Here's a new thread!!!

Thank you so much for the letter image and link!!!

There's no telling whether that's the Brokaw or the NY Post letter, because they're identical, aren't they?

I wonder if it will turn out that the Leahy letter is identical to the Daschle letter. If somebody's been using a xerox machine, I wonder if it would be possible to identify it from the scratches in the copies. If the machine is in the Trenton area, it should be possible to identify it.

Hmmm ... or maybe it was copied on a cheap "film" copier/fax machine ... the kind that might leave an image on the used portion!

[NCEaglette]

Bump for your excellent research!

To the competing theory ...

BioPort’s Board of Directors

For your consideration.

IMHO

[Alamo-Girl]

That would fit well into the BioPort scenario profile! Thank you so much for your post!!!

Great job (as usual)! You've compiled a lot of information, including much I hadn't seen yet -- and I try to read ALL anthrax-related articles. Thanks for all your work!

[MizSterious]

Did I read that article wrong? What I understood from it is that this was the hoax letter to the NY Times--which, although containing a mysterious powder, was found not to be anthrax. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.
