Anthrax threats at abortion clinics

[Forstater, Mathew]

Was looking for news about the anthrax discovered here in KC yesterday,
as reported in this morning's KC Star, and found this 1999 news about
anthrax threats at abortion clinics.  Note the last sentence that this
was not an isolated case, although all "were revealed to be hoaxes."

Kansas City Abortion Clinic Receives Anthrax Threat 
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (CWNews.com) - A Planned Parenthood abortion
clinic in Kansas City was evacuated on Monday and its workers treated
for possible exposure to anthrax after a threatening letter was received
at the facility. 
More than 20 people were treated at area hospitals for possible exposure
to the potentially lethal disease after a package was opened Monday
morning that included a note that said it was contaminated. About 100
federal and local law enforcement officials went to the clinic to
investigate. 
More than a dozen abortion clinics, pro-life crisis pregnancy centers,
and federal agencies have received anthrax threats that were revealed to
be hoaxes since last year.
