Barbara Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., said CDC officials
told him that “human intervention” was the likely
cause of contamination.
Health officials insisted there was no public
health threat, but there was unease among some
of the 500 people waiting for antibiotics and
anthrax tests at the Palm Beach County health
agency Monday.
“I feel nervous. I’m worried for everybody,”
said David Hayes, an editor for the Star tabloid
who works in the building. Test results are expect
ed to take days or weeks in some cases.
Anthrax cannot be spread from person to person,
but all 300 people who work in the building — and
anyone who spent more than an hour inside since
Aug. 1 — were advised to visit health officials.
Antibiotics can treat anthrax, though the form
that killed Sun photography editor Bob Stevens is
particularly lethal. Stevens, 63, died Friday of
inhalation anthrax, the first such fatality in the
United States since 1976.

because a curfew is in effect in the Afghan capital.
Lights went out in Kabul soon after the attack began, and Taliban
radio ordered people to close their blinds, shut off lights and stay
indoors.
Taliban positions around the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif were
also under attack Monday, the Afghan press agency reported. Ashraf
Nadim, a spokesman for the opposition northern alliance, said by tele
phone that his forces were tipped off by the United States a half hour
before Monday’s attacks.
Nadim, speaking from Samangan province, about 30 miles from
Mazar-e-Sharif, said U.S. aircraft and missiles were launched against
Taliban positions there.
The Afghan press agency said the northern alliance launched a
major attack Monday evening on the Taliban position near Dara-e-Suf,
in northern Samangan.
In Washington, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld suggested
there was much left to do after the first night’s aerial assault. “We
believe we’ve made progress toward eliminating the air defense sites,”
he said. “We believe we’ve made an impact on military airfields. ... We
cannot yet state with certainty we have destroyed” dozens of command
and control and other military targets,” he said.
Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
said the fresh bombardment Monday night was accompanied by a
renewed air drop of humanitarian assistance.
“His passion was working
with his dad at the vet clinic,
hunting and fishing,” said
Corps Chaplain Zac
Coventry, a senior agricul
tural development major and
longtime friend of
Howton. “He and his
dad traveled all over
the world hunting.”
In high school,
Howton was an offi
cer with the Future
Farmers of America.
Last summer he
worked at a ranch in
New Mexico at a popular
fishing resort. He was an
active member of the Church
of Christ in College Station.
“He was the basic 20-
year-old Aggie who adored
