Anthrax mail route focus narrows suspects in NBC and Daschle letters
FBI agents swarmed the west Trenton route where a mail carrier contracted cutaneous anthrax. Investigators say the illness points to the likely sender along her route, with NBC News anchor Brokaw and Senate Leader Daschle letters both postmarked in Trenton. The case adds a CBS editor and a Trenton postal worker as infected, five total sickened, one dead. A $1 million reward is offered for leads.
