http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04231/363824.stmA doctor whose homes were searched this month by federal agents investigating the deadly 2001 anthrax attacks has lost his job at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
"His employment ends on Nov. 8 and he will be on leave until then," UPMC spokesman Frank Raczkiewicz said Wednesday of Dr. Kenneth Berry. He would not elaborate.
Berry has not been charged in the anthrax case. On Aug. 5, agents descended on his home and a former apartment in rural western New York, as well as his parents' summer home on the New Jersey shore.
That same day, Berry, who founded an organization in 1997 that trains medical professionals to respond to chemical and biological attacks, was arrested after a domestic dispute at a motel in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. He is free on bail.
This guy worked at UPMC hospital (SW PA area) in my hometown.
