PITTSBURGH, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Details remained sketchy about an FBI search of a car in an airport parking lot outside Pittsburgh somehow connected to the years' long anthrax investigation.
The weekend search took place at Connellsville Airport, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The FBI would not disclose the owner of the car or exactly why it was searched.
Thursday the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service inspected three homes in New York and New Jersey belonging to Dr. Kenneth M. Berry, and the FBI would not say if those searches were linked to the Pittsburgh area search other than by some aspect of the anthrax investigation, CNN reported.
Beginning late in 2001, five people died from anthrax infections spread by mail.
Berry has a background in research on bioterrorism and is the founder of an organization to instruct emergency personnel on how to respond to terror attacks.
