NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Postal Service officials Saturday confirmed that a new test of equipment at the huge Morgan Processing Center turned up new evidence of anthrax, though they said it is not enough to be a serious health threat. The discovery of what is apparently a remnant of previous contamination reinforced fears of some postal workers that they are still in jeopardy at the facility although so far no workers there have become infected.
