Pentagon Admits It Accidentally Mailed Live Anthrax to Labs 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Pentagon has acknowledged it accidentally sent live anthrax spores
to up to nine laboratories across the United States and to a U.S.
military lab in South Korea. The labs were supposed to receive inactive
samples for research, but got live spores instead. Anthrax exposure can
be fatal, but the Pentagon says there are no known infections to date.
