Report: Anthrax in Suitcase Kills Egyptian Heading to Canada

(Reuters/FOX News) - Brazilian federal police officials are "90% certain" that an Egyptian ship crewman who died in Brazil on April 11 was exposed to anthrax contained in a suitcase he had opened. The crewman had traveled from Cairo to Brazil to join the Egyptian merchant ship Wabi Alaras before it sailed to Canada, and had been given the suitcase the week before to deliver to someone in Canada.
