- In what could turn out to be the clearest indication
yet that the terrorist hijackers who attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11 are
also behind the spate of anthrax cases diagnosed this week in New York
and Florida, terrorist-ringleader Mohamed Atta was allegedly spotted in
a Florida pharmacy with possible symptoms of anthrax poisoning.
-
- "We know that the FBI is now going to local pharmacies
to see if [Atta] did in fact get Cipro," said Steve Coz, editior of
The National Enquirer, in an interview with WPLG Click10.com.
-
- Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat anthrax
exposure.
-
- "We know that he showed up at a pharmacy with red
hands," Coz added. "There are people in this area who have very
direct recollections of seeing him. He worked out in a gym where some of
our employees were."
-
- "We know Mohamed Atta was within three miles of
the [American Media] building, we know he was within a mile of Bob Stevens'
house," said Coz.
-
- Stevens was the American Media employee who died from
an anthrax infection a week ago. American Media's Boca Raton offices house
The National Enquirer, The National Examiner, The Globe and The Sun, where
Stevens worked.
-
- Thirteen out of the 19 suspected hijackers lived in different
residences in South Florida in the weeks and months before the Sept. 11
attack. Several reportedly inquired about renting cropdusters, in what
investigators suspect was an aborted plot to spread biological or chemical
weapons.
-
- Coz's comments to WPLG Click10 were first reported on
the Yahoo News website Friday.
