(Spectator Wire Services) -- A leading U.S. scientist said yesterday that the FBI has identified the man behind last year’s series of fatal anthrax mailings but is “dragging its feet” over bringing charges because it is a former government scientist.
Barbara Rosenberg, a director with the Federation of American Scientists said many scientists working in the anthrax field were aware of the suspect, who she said had been questioned at least twice by the authorities. She said the FBI was reluctant to arrest the scientist because he knew governments secrets.
