They have more than a strong hunch, Barbara, honey. They've had him in custody since November 2, 2001. The mailer's name is Allah Rakah. He received the anthrax letters from their preparer, Mohammed Atta, in Florida, where he then lived, before moving to Hamilton Township, New Jersey, from where he dispatched the threats to prominent figures in the US media and government, a few days after Atta's suicide attack on the World Trade Center. Unfortunately, Rakah is just more lowlife mosque scum, recruited as a mule by Atta: he knows nothing about whether there really are large caches of Saddam's anthrax on US soil, or who would be charged with dispersing them if push comes to shove and Saddam gives the order to do so.
How do I know all this? Let's just call it a "strong hunch," Barbara. I guess we'll have to wait and see whose "hunches" are on the mark, eh, Barbara?
Bump for future reference. Thank you for sharing this. I don't understand why the media has not followed up on this story? I can see why the administration has downplayed this, as much of the Pakistan government was our allie in the fight in Afghanistan.
A neighbor across the street said he called the FBI after seeing the man handling what the neighbor considered a suspicious plastic bag of letters.
"I noticed the gentleman late at night — maybe 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, — take a plastic bag, a clear plastic bag, with envelopes in it and placed it softly in the car, on the passenger side of the car, and locked it," the neighbor said.
