WASHINGTON, Nov 5: A preliminary test on a substance found at the United States consulate in Lahore, has registered positive for the anthrax bacteria, the United State’s State Department said on Monday.

“There’s a preliminary positive test at a local laboratory on something that we found on October 30,” spokesman Richard Boucher said.

“But the final results of those are still pending from United States testing,” he told reporters, noting that other preliminary tests had been incorrect in registering positive for anthrax.—AFP
