Anthrax? Again? Not

Commonwealth Biotechnologies said it is unclear whether the accuracy of the sample that caused the evacuation of 300 people March 14 at the Defense Department will ever be determined. The company said it has found no evidence of contamination of the sample.

Meanwhile in Maryland....Two courthouses in opposite parts of Maryland were evacuated after receiving identical anthrax hoaxes. Envelopes containing a white powder along with notes suggesting the substance was anthrax were mailed to district courts in Garrett County in western Maryland and Worcester County in eastern Maryland.

Barry Maddox, spokesman for the FBI's Baltimore office, said the letters that arrived Monday were being investigated.
