[0:00] employee in New York may be at risk.
[0:02] Test results not yet in. And a letter
[0:05] received in Nevada has tested positive
[0:07] for anthrax spores. We'll devote a good
[0:10] deal of our program to examining this
[0:12] and other bioteterrorism menaces and the
[0:15] government's response. Koki,
[0:17] >> that's right, Sam. But that's all on the
[0:19] home front. Of course, the war in
[0:21] Afghanistan goes on. There was bombing
[0:23] overnight and today in Pakistan,
[0:26] demonstrations. George Stephanopoulos
[0:28] joins us from there.

[0:33] heavy bombing in Afghanistan, as you

[1:05] surrender Osama bin Laden even if
[1:07] Afghanistan is destroyed.
[1:10] >> It is better to be destroyed than to
[1:13] surrender to a might and Arabians.
[1:18] Finally, Shaheen denied reports in the
[1:20] American press that Osama Osama bin
[1:23] Laden's forces have created chemical,
[1:25] biological, and nuclear weapons in
[1:27] Afghanistan. Ki,
[1:28] >> thank you, George. George will be back
[1:30] later in the program with an exclusive
[1:32] interview with Pakistan's foreign
[1:33] minister. And no
