The cdc has traced samples to 183 labs across the world and here in the u. S. Including maryland, virginia, and the district of columbia. Thats more than twice the number previously reported. The federal government doesnt think that is the end of it. They dont know the entire scope of the problem just yet. Because this has been going on since 2003. A private commercial lab in maryland informed the pentagon it had received a live sample in may. All the suspected samples came from an army bioterror facility in dugway, utah which produces the largest amount of anthrax to ship out to other labs.

Investigators believe they were trying to kill too much at one time and inadequately tested afterwards. 31 lab workers are taking antibiotics as a precaution.

Iran has violated 20 inantertional agreements isand l theeading state sponsor of terrorism. Knowing what to do during a Violent Crime<\/a> could be the difference between life and death. Hopefully never faced a situation like this but say you were being cash jacked what to do . Jeremy campbell got some advice from an expert. Get out of the car. Major gardener isnt a carjacker. Hes a teacher. Law enforcement Security Specialist<\/a> private training academy. And what to do during a carjacking is a needed lesson. As we see video after video of attacks. His rule number one if you find youre staring at youre staring at yourself staring at a carjackers gun. Just get out of the vehicle. As i found out during his demonstration, fleeing opportunity always come naturally. Doesnt always come naturally. It takes a lot to get out through you when you see that gun. Yes it does. I would think it would be tough have the confidence to do that for a lot of people. Well, i mean, youve got to choose if i stay in here, maybe i die and he drags me out. Gardener says dont try to leap out the passenger door. The assailant could feel out of control. And attack. He also says only attempt to drive away if the path is obvious and safe. Remember bullets are a lot laster than me pushing the gas pedal and getting away. If they ask requester your wallet or phone hand it over and run. But if they ask you to get in the trunk that tells me red flag. I could die. Plus once you get in the trunk youre in the trunk, youre locked in at the liberty of whos got you captive. Thats where getting creative by finding a potential opening to run away could save you. You got to be an actor to save your life. Get out of the car. Give me your money. Gardener offered this fakeout. Open the trunk. Pretend its locked. Unlock it man. Toss the keys and run. Wow. Good move. Tell you what i mean weve seen so many of these cases at area gas stations especially. So. Exactly even when you guilty out and give them thekeys get out and give them the keys it doesnt always end well. Time now to see the partners at cbs this morning are covering.
