Pentagon says ‘live anthrax’ inadvertently shipped across USPublished May 27, 2015, FoxNews.com The Pentagon revealed Wednesday that "live anthrax" was shipped, apparently by accident, across the country from a lab in Utah. Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren assured "there are no risks to the public" and said an investigation is under way. But a defense official also told Fox News it is unknown at this time whether anyone was exposed to the live samples. The material in question was prepared at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, as part of what was described as a "routine" research process. It was then sent out to Defense Department and commercial labs in nine states -- the shipments were supposed to include only inactive, or dead, anthrax when they were transferred. www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/05/27/pentagon-says-live-anthrax-inadvertently-shipped-across-us/
