"I would not use the word weaponized," he cautioned. Regular masks will not protect postal workers or anyone else from such small bacteria, Frist said. "The masks we use in surgery are no good, that's false security," he said. Even the better-filtered masks doctors use around tuberculosis patients won't work, he said. Special battery-operated masks similar to those worn by certain workers clearing the destroyed World Trade Center in New York are the only reliable kind, but are hard to wear, Frist said.

New recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will advise the U.S. Postal Service that several specially fitted respirators with spore-trapping filters can be used, and to offer the battery-operated kind when workers can't be properly fitted with others. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. The anthrax spores that killed two postal workers were so small and finely milled that they suggest, "more than a casual scientist" is behind the attacks through the mail, Sen. Bill Frist said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Frist, a surgeon before he was a senator, predicted "there will be more illness." Whoever mailed the anthrax-laced letters wanted to "personalize the terror" by making Americans fearful to open their mailboxes, he added. Anthrax spores that spewed into the air of a Capitol Hill office and a Washington postal facility were aerosolized manipulated to a tiny size and finely milled in a very sophisticated manner, said Frist, R-Tenn. "The aerosolization of this product, of the weapon itself, had never been done before to the degree that it has," he said.

After the Sept. 11 attack, families of the missing rooted through their loved ones' personal effects. Investigators hope to use DNA from the toothbrushes, hairbrushes, chewed gum, licked envelopes and other items to identify the body parts being taken from the smoking ruins. The names of the first eight victims were not released. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani on Wednesday urged more families to submit samples.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Eight people lost in the World Trade Center attack have become the first victims of the disaster to be identified through DNA in the biggest effort in history to use genetics to put names to the dead.

In an aside, the foreign secretary said it was instinctive for Britain to fight alongside the United States. On two occasions, he said, referring to World Wars I and "the United States came to our aid." If the United States had not responded in a time of need, "we would not enjoy the freedoms which we do in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe and throughout the rest of the world," Straw said. After their meeting at the State Department, Powell briefed the House International Relations Committee. At the White House, Canadian Foreign Minister John Man-ley asked for a resumption of initiatives to streamline border security that were put on hold after the Sept. 11 terrorist feHOUSE Corner Oakland Rte.

Before going to Capitol Hill, Powell plotted a postwar government in Afghanistan with chief ally Britain, while Canada sought to persuade the White House to streamline bor-. der security.

As Powell met with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, he told reporters the aim was to put in place in Kabul "a broad-based government" and help the people of Afghanistan "get on a path of a better life in a post-Taliban regime." Straw, in turn, said, "We've done a great deal of thinking on both sides of the Atlantic about the future of Afghanistan." While its precise form is not clear, "I think we can see the building blocks that are necessary to secure a stable and safe future for that country," Straw ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. Secretary of State Colin Powell is ruling out a dominant role for Pakistan or any other nation in Afghanistan's postwar government. Even the United States cannot run the South Asian country, Powell told the House International Relations Committee on Wednesday. "It won't work if any one country dictates what the future of the government will look like," Powell said. As for the ruling Taliban militia, Powell said it "must now go, because they are part and parcel to al-Qaida." Pakistan, next door to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, has played a role in the U.S.

Butler Attorney-at-Law Call for tour FREE CozrsTnoAnoir NEW YORK A woman who was doused in flaming jet fuel while waiting for a bus near the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 has died of her injuries, six weeks after the disaster.

'Jeannieann Maffeo, 40, died Monday. She had suffered severe burns all over her body. On the morning of the terrorist attacks, Maffeo was waiting to catch a bus to her job as a senior associate in systems development at UBS PaineWebber. When the first plane in the terrorist attack smashed into the 110-story tower, she was caught in a cascade of burning jet fuel. She was helped by a man who had narrowly dodged the falling debris.

Ron Clifford, 47, had ducked into the lobby of a hotel to avoid the deadly shower. He spotted Maffeo, severely burned, staggering through the revolving door into the hotel. Clifford, whose sister and niece were passengers on the plane that slammed into the second tower that morning, wrapped her in his coat and helped her to an ambulance. Maffeo's burns were so severe that family members needed to wear scrubs when visiting her at the burn unit of the Cornell Medical Center to prevent any infection. She is survived by her parents, a sister and a brother.
