First, I will start by saying what anthrax is; it’s a disease caused by a bacterium that is highly lethal in some forms. On 2001 on the U.S. were the anthrax attacks, or amerithrax. They occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001. The attack consisted of letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several media offices and to two democratic U.S. senators. On this attack, five people were killed and seventeen were infected. The primary suspect was publicly identified until 2008.
The New York Post and NBC News letters contained the following note:
09-11-01
THIS IS NEXT
TAKE PENACILIN NOW
DEATH TO AMERICA
DEATH TO ISRAEL
ALLAH IS GREAT
The second note that was addressed to Senators Daschle and Leahy read:
09-11-01
YOU CAN NOT STOP US.
WE HAVE THIS ANTHRAX.
YOU DIE NOW.
ARE YOU AFRAID?
DEATH TO AMERICA.

This is frightening, these persons are trying to send a message, but not just to this people that received the letters, that was a message to all the world. And I can't stop thinking that you are not safe in any place. You can see in this example that just the simplest thing can harm you.
ReplyDeletewooow jeje, well thinking in the place on the terrorist o who ever send the antrax i think its very clever or smart that idea, and i think that that was a big warning to the U.S.
ReplyDeletethis is something weird. like I read about it, it is called 'bioterrorism' it is an ingenious way of destroying something but also a sick one. And by the written stuff in the letters we can see that there intentions aren't good. God bless America,, before the world destroy them.
