Dr. Tsonas's assertion, first made to the F.B.I. in October but never disclosed, has added another layer of mystery to the investigation of last fall's deadly anthrax attacks, which has yet to focus on a specific suspect.

Well, fancy that!

"Dr. Tsonas said he forgot entirely about the two men until federal agents in October showed him pictures of Mr. Alhaznawi and Mr. Jarrah, and he made positive identifications.

Then, agents gave Dr. Tsonas a copy of his own notes from the emergency room visit and he read them. "I said, `Oh, my God, my written description is consistent with cutaneous anthrax,' " Dr. Tsonas recalled. "I was surprised."

The FBI was apparently on top of this before this doctor even remembered it -- it doesn't seem that they could find any trace of anthrax in places where the hijackers had been, which perhaps indicates that there had to be a separate facility involved. What if these guys had anthrax that was totally unrelated to the letters? What if there were multiple agents with anthrax? That might explain the inability to connect the dots between New Jersey and Florida.
