21:30Now PlayingFor several weeks in the Fall of 2001, America was gripped by twin terrorist plots. The September 11 hijackings were a massive world event whose effects continue to ripple throughout most corners of the Earth; in the weeks after the Twin Towers fell, though, there was nearly as much fear and anxiety about a small stream of letters that were intentionally laced with anthrax.
The killer was never officially identified, and the case was never formally closed, but one man has been intrinsically linked to the story from beginning to end. This is the story of Dr. Bruce Edwards Ivins: American anthrax expert and bioterror suspect.
