Live anthrax samples shipped to 3 Canadian laboratories by U.S. military, report says
Source: CBC, Reuters
Names of Canadian labs have not been released
Live anthrax samples were shipped to three laboratories in Canada by a U.S. military lab, USA Today reported on Monday, following disclosures last week that samples of the bacteria were mistakenly sent to 11 U.S. states and two other countries.
The newspaper cited two U.S. Defence Department officials as saying the samples sent to Canada came from the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, where the other samples appear to trace back to as well. It is one of the U.S. military labs responsible for inactivation and shipping of biological material.

Tom Skinner, a spokesperson at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, told CBC News they have not been releasing the names of the labs and facilities that received the anthrax samples. He said the same would apply to any samples that may have been shipped to Canada.
