US Team Finds Anthrax in Kazakstan

The Associated Press
Friday, Oct. 12, 2001; 6:14 p.m. EDT

WASHINGTON ­­ A U.S.  military team helping to decommission a former
Soviet biological weapons factory found anthrax spores this week,
Pentagon and State Department officials said. 

The four-member team found the anthrax in a pipe at the former Soviet
facility at Stepnogorsk, which is now in Kazakstan, said Pentagon
spokesman Maj.  Tim Blair.  All of the team members, as well as another
eight people helping the team outside the building, had been vaccinated
for anthrax and were wearing protective suits, Blair said. 

None of the 12 workers were believed to have been exposed to the
bacteria, but they all are taking antibiotics as a precaution, Blair
said. 

"This is what they were looking for, so they were prepared to deal with
it," Blair said. 

The team is part of a joint U.S.-Russian effort to dismantle the former
Soviet Union's germ warfare sites.  The plant at Stepnogorsk was built
starting in 1982 to replace another factory which accidentally released
anthrax into the air in 1979, killing about 70 people.
