Anthrax results expected tonight

By David Redwood
The Daily News

Test results are expected this evening on whether anthrax is aboard the Egyptian bulk carrier Wadi al Arab. The tests were done Saturday after department officials visited the ship, moored off Halifax Harbour. Its chief officer, Ibrahim Sayed Ibrahim, had died about 10 days ago. He was taken off the ship in Brazil. Anthrax bacilli were discovered in his body, but a final autopsy report is not expected to be available until tomorrow. Ibrahim died of septicemia, which occurs when toxins from the bacteria enter the blood stream and do damage to the organs. There was strong hemorrhaging of the lungs, pancreas and brain, a symptom consistent with anthrax poisoning. — With CP files

I think that's the first Canadian report I've seen to mention the hemorrhaging. Once you combine the hemorrhaging with the fact that anthrax bacilli were found in the body, the conclusion that he died of inhalational anthrax is inescapable. Maybe the Canadian public is about to learn the truth.
