Can Anthrax Be Controlled?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the little-glass-hotels dept.

coolphysco1010 writes "Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin discovered why lung, but not skin, anthrax infections are lethal. Neutrophils, a form of white blood cells, play a key role in anthrax infections. This discovery might now pave the way towards the development of new therapies for the fatal lung form of anthrax."

    So, you know for sure that the Anthrax that was mailed out in the US was from the US Military? Source?

    And you know the "real" reason for 9/11. Well, what was it and wheres a source or two for it?
