Is anthrax a biological weapon?

A bioterrorism attack using anthrax spores is a possibility. In 2001, a U.S. military researcher mailed envelopes containing anthrax spores to members of Congress and the media. Five of the 22 people who developed cutaneous or inhalation anthrax died. Federal agencies continue to work to prevent a future anthrax attack.
