Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: February 01, 2004 – February 07, 2004 Archives
Why didn’t this get reported more widely? And is it related to what happened yesterday on the Hill?
From a January 9th report from CBS and the AP …
The FBI on Thursday offered a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to an arrest of anyone responsible for leaving a package containing the deadly poison ricin at a post office in October.
A letter inside the package said the author could make much more ricin and will “start dumping” large quantities of the poison if new federal trucking rules went in effect, according to information released by the FBI and other federal agencies Thursday.
The letter, which was found at a post office in South Carolina, was signed “fallen angel” and the sender identified himself as “a fleet owner of a tanker company.”
