[0:12] Anthrax. Tonight, the deadly germ
[0:14] spreads to Supreme Court and CIA mail
[0:17] facilities. We'll have the latest, plus
[0:19] new questions about who's behind it,
[0:21] where it comes from. The war. The
[0:24] desperate story of an Afghan rebel
[0:27] caught by the Taliban and executed. His
[0:30] connection to America. Could he have
[0:32] been saved? Our special series, Five

[1:34] Pete Williams has the latest for us.
[1:36] Pete. Tom. Good evening. The anthrax
[1:38] scare in Washington has now hit all
