Pentagon: Suspect anthrax also sent to Canada, Washington

The Pentagon says it has determined that possibly live anthrax was mistakenly sent to labs in Canada and Washington state, in addition to the numerous labs in the US and abroad that were announced last week.
A Pentagon spokesman, Col Steve Warren, says Canadian and Washington state authorities have been notified.
Warren said the suspect anthrax was from a sample at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. The anthrax was supposed to have been inactivated before being sent to labs across the US for research but apparently was not.
It also was sent to labs in South Korea and Australia. The Pentagon and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating.

Warren said there is no known risk to public health.
