FBI Searches Car as Part of Anthrax Investigation

FBI agents Saturday searched a car in Pennsylvania belonging to Kenneth Berry as part of the bureau’s investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks, according to the Associated Press. Last week, FBI agents searched Berry’s home and former apartment in New York and his parents’ summer house in New Jersey as part of the anthrax investigation (see GSN, Aug. 6).

The car was located at Connellsville Airport, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, according to AP. Berry kept the car at the airport for use when he visited family in the area, said Frank Sero, a lineman at the airport. 

The FBI would not say what agents were looking for, but said there was no immediate danger to the public.

Berry has told police that he had nothing to do with the 2001 attacks, Point Pleasant Beach N.J. Police Chief Daniel DePolo said Friday (Allison Schlesinger, Associated Press/Yahoo!News, Aug. 7).
