Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".[1] Bruce Edwards Ivins, became a focus of investigation around April 4, 2005. Ivins was a scientist who worked at the government's biodefense labs at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. On April 11, 2007, Ivins was put under periodic surveillance and an FBI document stated that "Bruce Edwards Ivins is an extremely sensitive suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks."[2] On July 29, 2008, Ivins died from an overdose ofacetaminophen.[3]
On August 6, 2008, despite having no direct evidence of his involvement,[4][5] federal prosecutors declared Ivins to be the sole culprit of the crime.[6] On February 19, 2010, the FBI formally closed its investigation.[9] but some doubt the conclusion. There was early speculation of links to Al Qaeda, as reports of American scientists had implicated Iraq as the source of the anthrax, Wall St. Journal editorialized that Al Qaeda perpetrated the mailings, with Iraq the source, but these theories were discredited. 9-11 truther pro-Muslim anti-semitic theories: The 2001 Anthrax Deception: The Case for a Domestic ... www.globalresearch.ca Dec 1, 2014 - The 2001 Anthrax Deception: The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy ...

looks like a whitewashed terrorist attack by weaponized muslim 7 killed October 3, 2001 2001 Greyhound bus head-on crash suicide attack by Croation Muslim Army Veteran Near Manchester, Tennessee, Damir Igric for unknown motives commandeered a Greyhound Lines bus en route from Chicago to Orlando, Florida. He slashed the throat of the driver with a utility knife, causing the bus to crash into oncoming traffic. Seven people, including Igric, died as a result from the crash. At 4 a.m., Igric lunged at the driver and slashed his throat. He proceeded to grab the steering wheel in an attempt to direct the vehicle into oncoming traffic. Although there were suggestions of terrorist activity after the recent September 11 attacks had happened, the media concluded that Damir Igric was just an innocent Croatian restaurant worker with mental issues with no connection to any terrorist motive. A temporary nationwide shutdown of the Greyhound bus service was put into effect. Following a very similar incident nearly one year later, Greyhound Lines installed shields on most of its newer coaches that, even if forced open, prevent someone from easily reaching the driver. Other theories pointed out that the suspect was a Croatian Muslim Army veteran, and that Al Qaeda and Iran supported Muslim fighters in both Bosnia and Kosovo.

Oct. 11, 2001 Seattle Murder of Federal Prosecutor Thomas Wales On the evening of October 11, 2001, Wales was sitting at his computer in his home office in his basement. A gunman avoided the security lights in Wales' backyard and shot him in the neck, through a window, with a handgun. The killer left shell casings behind. Seattle Times: "If he was killed because of his work, he would be the first federal prosecutor in the nation’s history to be slain in the line of duty" Some objected to his off-duty activism as a leading gun-control advocate. As of 2011, this murder case remains unsolved and no evidence has been found to establish a motive. It was just one month after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks but the terrorist-style shooting has never been linked to terrorism.
