FBI Agents Search Car Belonging to Bioterrorism Expert Whose Homes Were Raided in Anthrax Probe


PITTSBURGH (AP) - FBI agents searched a car on Saturday belonging to the bioterrorism expert whose homes were raided earlier this week by federal agents investigating the 2001 anthrax attacks.
Agents examined the car Saturday at the Connellsville Airport, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, said Frank Sero, a lineman at the airport.

Dr. Kenneth M. Berry, who lives in western New York but has family in the Connellsville area, kept the car at the airport to use when he was there, Sero said. He said he was not sure what the agents were looking for or what they took from the airport, but the car was still there Saturday afternoon.

Special Agent Jeff Killeen at the FBI office in Pittsburgh said agents searched a vehicle at the airport in connection with the anthrax mailings, but he did not say who owned the vehicle. The search did not pose a threat to health or public safety, Killeen said.
