TUESDAY, NOV. 06, 2001 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A Postal worker beats anthrax The Associated Press MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — A postal employee who left the hospital yesterday after a three-week bout with inhalation anthrax said she thought she probably contracted the disease when a coworker shot compressed air into a jammed mail-processing machine and sent dust flying. Norma Wallace said it was Oct. 9 — the same day a letter mailed to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle was postmarked — when the machine jammed twice. She said her back was turned when a fellow employee blasted the machine's inner workings with compressed air. in the days following that incident, what she thought was a cold developed pneumonia-like symptoms. She checked into a hospital Oct. 19; days later, the 56-year-old Willingboro woman found out she had inhalation anthrax. Wallace had asked while she was hospitalized not to be identified, but she came forward yesterday. "I now am obligated to my peers and also to my nation," she said. "I have an obligation to explain that even though we have been confronted with a deadly disease, there is hope." Wallace worked at the Hamilton post office, where three anthrax-tainted letters sent to Washington and New York were processed. A second postal worker from that building with a confirmed case in inhalation anthrax was released from the hospital two weeks ago. There have been five confirmed cases of skin or inhalation anthrax in New Jersey. Officials said yesterday that all could be traced to the Hamilton facility. Wallace has not decided whether to return to work there. When Wallace arrived at the emergency room, she was immediately treated with intravenous antibiotics. Also, bloody fluid was drained twice from her lungs, then chest tubes were inserted By yesterday morning, she was ready to go home, fatigued and with slightly irregular breathing, but alert. She said she planned to return to life as usual, but admitted some trepidation opening the mail. "We have the greatest scientists,the greatest physicians,"she said. "We don't have to stand back in fear." UNITED NATIONS — The Interpol expert on a U.N. panel that investigated illegal gunrunning and diamond-dealing in Liberia said yesterday that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network may have used diamonds to move money. Terrorists use every possible means to transfer money without using banking channels "and diamonds definitely is one of the most important channels," said Harjit Singh Sandhu of India, one of five panel experts. The Associated Press Al-Qaida linked to illegal diamond trade experts. "Where there are diamonds — be it Angola, be it in Sierra Leone or any place — definitely they will try to use that channel. That is common sense," he said. The Washington Post reported Friday that al-Qaida has earned millions of dollars during the past three years from the illegal sale of diamonds mined by rebels from the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone. The U.N. panel did not investigate a possible link between al-Qaida and illegal diamond sales because there were no allegations until last week, but Sandhu said a new investigation could try to establish whether there is such a link. Sierra Leone's deputy foreign minister, Sahr Matturi, also called for an investigation, saying a link between Al-Qaida and the Revolutionary United Front "would worry us tremendously." The Security Council was holding an open meeting yesterday on the panel's 129-page report, which found widespread violations of U.N. sanctions imposed this year to punish Liberian President Charles Taylor's arms and diamond dealings with Sierra Leone's rebels. Singapore's U.N. Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani, chairman of the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions on Liberia, said it will be up to the 15-member council to decide whether there should be any follow-up on alleged terrorist diamond dealing in Liberia. The council is expected to review Liberia's implementation of sanctions at a closed-door meeting tomorrow. HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (Nov. 6).
