Ashcroft also expressed his concern that emergency service agencies and federal health and investigative are being overtaxed by their response to as many as 2,300 calls for unfounded or "hoax" incidents involving suspected Weapons of Mass Destruction. Ashcroft said that those purposefully engaging in perpetrating these so-called "hoax" incidents would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In related developments, ERRI crisis analysts said that their preliminary examination of the current rash of alleged anthrax incidents would seem to indicate that there may be multiple sources of the letters containing suspicious materials. "There would appear to be at least one or two sets of letters that actually contain biological materials," ERRI's Clark Staten said this morning. "And there also appear to be several other sets of hoax letters which contain various other kinds of materials that are not hazardous," Staten added. "As we warned in our advisory to emergency service agencies on 08 Oct, we believe that there may be opportunistic groups or individuals, both domestically and internationally, who are attempting take advantage of a few real incidents in an attempt to further their obviously twisted agendas and further escalate this crisis," the veteran emergency analyst added. "We're sure that the FBI, the US Postal Service, and other appropriate investigative agencies are pursuing a number of leads and theories concerning the sources of these incidents," Staten concluded.
