Anthrax letters in New York and Washington, DC (2001)

They were supposedly 7 letters but only were found 2. They were supposedly delivered to AMI, NBC, ABC, and CBS News. And other 2 were delivered to 2 senators: Daschle and Leahy.
5 People death, 22 infected. The dates in which this happens were September 18, 2001, 5 Days after the attack at the WTC; October 9, 2001, 3 weeks after the first letter. The people who get killed by the disease were Robert Stevens; two employees of the Brentwood mail facility in Washington, D.C., Thomas Morris Jr. and Joseph Curseen; and two whose source of exposure to the bacteria is still unknown: Kathy Nguyen, a Vietnamese immigrant resident in the borough of the Bronx who worked in New York City, and Ottilie Lundgren, a 94-year old widow of a prominent judge from Oxford, Connecticut, who was the last known victim.
The first set of anthrax letters had a Trenton, New Jersey postmark dated September 18, 2001, exactly one week after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Five letters are believed to have been mailed at this time to: ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and the New York Post, all located in New York City. Two more anthrax letters, bearing the same Trenton postmark, were dated October 9, three weeks after the first mailing. The letters were addressed to two Democratic Senators, Tom Daschle of South Dakota and Patrick Leahy of Vermont. More potent than the first anthrax letters, the material in the Senate letters was a highly refined dry powder consisting of about one gram of nearly pure spores. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, a molecular biologist and research professor at the State University of New York, described the material as "weaponized" or "weapons grade" anthrax during a 2002 interview for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. They haven’t been able to know the reason of that attack, but they say that there might be a link with the 9/11/01. The stupid terrorists think that Allah would save them from everything but they have to destroy America no matters what. Transportation, Postal Service, Mailings, were just some sources of technology.
I think America has been attack that way because people just don’t like their way of living and trying to control everything. They want every single thing in the world. They interfere in every argument even if there has no business with them. I wouldn’t agree such level of damage but they shouldn’t mined someone’s else business.
