===Anthrax===
Anthrax has become known as a biological weapon. It became notable in the news in 2001, due to anthrax scares caused by anthrax found in letters written to several media personalities and politicians, including then-Senate Minority Leader [[Tom Daschle]]. This occurred shortly after [[9/11]]. Twenty-two people developed anthrax infections, and five of them died. Some of the survivors suffer from continuing serious health problems. The strain of anthrax used in the attacks was first developed in a [[U.S. Army]] facility in Fort Detrick, [[Maryland]]. The wife of one of the victims, [[Robert Stevens]], is suing the U.S. government for lax security. She alleges that the anthrax came from the facility at Fort Detrick.
