Man in Hospital After Inhaling Anthrax
By SARA KUGLER
AP
NEW YORK (Feb. 22) - A New York City man has been hospitalized after inhaling anthrax, but officials believe it was accidental and not related to terrorism.
The man, a doctor, traveled recently to the west coast of Africa and became ill shortly after his return, said a federal law enforcement official, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The official said the anthrax may have been on animal skins.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly were expected to discuss the case at a City Hall news conference. Aides to the mayor said only the one man was injured, and was recovering in a hospital in Sayre, Pa.
It was not clear how the man came into contact with the deadly substance, but mayor's aides said it was related to his job and that federal and city officials traced the exposure to New York City after the man became ill in Pennsylvania.
Officials stressed that the case is unique and not related to any kind of intentional attack.
Weeks after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the nation was on high alert as anthrax-laced letters popped up in several places, including New York City. NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, two U.S. senators and the offices of the New York Post were among the targets.
The anthrax attacks killed five people across the country and sickened 17. Investigators have not determined who was responsible for the attacks.
Associated Press Writer Mark Sherman in Washington contributed to this report.

This is a clear example of copyright infringement. |

How? A lot of us post articles. I don't claim it as my own. It includes the 'by line.' I usually include a link to the article, but since it's from AOL unless you have AOL you can't view it. Can you tell me, and anyone else who posts articles, what we have to do so we aren't infringing on a copyright? I don't want to make the same mistake in the future. Thanks. |

JTA,
Did you read the tag-line, which I will copy because the tagline is not copyrighted:
Copyright 2006 The Associated Press. The information contained in the AP news report may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or otherwise distributed without the prior written authority of The Associated Press.
I suggest as a way around this, we all at MOL barrage the copyright attorneys at the AP and ask for written permission to broadcast, rewrite, or otherwise distribute their anthrax article. |

Ooops. I don't remember seeing that kind of tagline on the other articles I've posted. I'm going to be more careful in the future. And email the station. Thanks. |
