Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf confirmed Saturday two cases of anthrax traces being sent to Pakistani offices but said the exposure had not resulted in any infections.
A military government spokesman said one incident involved The Jang, the country's biggest newspaper, and the other the offices of the US computer company Dell.
Musharraf told a press conference: "I am told that there was exposure but that there was no infection."
When pressed for more details he added: "Two confirmed exposures, no infections and no casualties."
Musharraf said: "We don't consider it such a serious problem as maybe it is in the United States" -- ISLAMABAD,(AFP)
