[0:07] Bombs rain on Afghanistan as the
[0:10] president rejects a Taliban compromise.
[0:13] There is no negotiation, period.
[0:15] On the home front, anxiety about
[0:17] anthrax. We'll cover that story in
[0:20] depth.
[0:24] From NBC News World Headquarters in New
[0:26] York, this is NBC Nightly News reported
[0:31] by John Seigenthaler.
[0:33] Good evening, everyone. Authorities in
[0:35] New York are now treating three more
[0:37] people tonight for exposure to anthrax
[0:39] spores. A police officer and two lab

[1:24] development. Some of the investigators
[1:26] who handled it have been exposed.
[1:30] Mayor Rudy Giuliani says a police
[1:32] officer who first examined the letter
[1:34] sent to NBC has anthrax spores in his
[1:37] nose. Two lab technicians have also
[1:39] tested positive for exposure.
[1:41] Two of the lab technicians, one
[1:44] actually has um
[1:46] was found to have only one spore
[1:49] uh in her nose
