[0:01] Some new anthrax cases today, but few
[0:04] clues. As a few more people are
[0:07] infected, investigators fail to find out
[0:09] who's behind the attacks and whether
[0:12] there are more poison letters. Eye on
[0:14] America, the anthrax vaccine, the
[0:17] military get it. Should anyone else? US
[0:22] jets play cat-and- mouse with Taliban
[0:24] missiles and win. And on the ground,
[0:26] Taliban tanks pay the price. Also, can

[1:18] CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart is
[1:20] following the investigation.
[1:23] The latest cases don't appear to
[1:25] represent any new attacks, but rather
[1:27] more infections from the same letters.
[1:29] In New Jersey, where all the known
[1:31] letters were mailed from, there's
[1:32] another tenative diagnosis of a postal
[1:34] worker. At the State Department, a
[1:36] worker in a remote mail facility has
[1:38] been diagnosed with anthrax, and NBC has
[1:40] a second skin type case. There's one
[1:43] other person who um apparently handled
[1:47] the letter that
