Suit Seeking Anthrax Documents Is Filed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


ASHINGTON, June 7  A legal watchdog group said today that it was suing the 
Bush administration for access to documents about last fall's anthrax 
attacks, asserting that top officials may have known that the attacks were 
coming.

The group, Judicial Watch, said it had filed suits against several agencies 
that had failed to release documents to it under the Freedom of Information 
Act. 

Judicial Watch represents postal workers at the Brentwood mail center in 
Washington, which handled anthrax-laden letters headed to Capitol Hill. Two 
Brentwood workers died of inhalation anthrax. 

Larry Klayman, chairman of Judicial Watch, noted that administration 
officials said last fall that soe White House staff began taking the 
antibiotic Cipro on Sept. 11, before the anthrax attacks.

"We believe that the White House knew or had reason to know that an anthrax 
attack was imminent or under way," Mr. Klayman said. 

A White House spokesman, Gordon Johndroe, denied that assertion.
