Letters tainted with anthrax with Trenton postmarks on this date, but believed to have been mailed from Princeton, are sent to: ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and the New York Post in New York City and to the National Enquirer in Boca Raton, Florida.

At least 22 people developed anthrax infections, with five deaths attributed to inhalation of the poison.
