Anthrax attack bug "identical" to army strain

The DNA sequence of the anthrax sent through the US mail in 2001 has
been revealed and confirms suspicions that the bacteria originally
came from a US military laboratory.

The data released uses codenames for the reference strains against
which the attack strain was compared. But New Scientist can reveal
that the two reference strains that appear identical to the attack
strain most likely originated at the US Army Medical Research
Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
