Sandia’s Work Demonstrated Anthrax Letters Contained Non-Weaponized Form

Sandia’s Work Demonstrated Anthrax Letters Contained Non-Weaponized Form

Sandia's work demonstrated to the FBI that the form of bacillus anthracis contained in those letters was not a weaponized form, a form of the bacteria prepared to disperse more readily. The possibility of a weaponized form was of great concern to investigators, says Joseph Michael, the principal investigator for the project. This information was crucial in ruling out state-sponsored terrorism.
