US vows to probe anthrax sent to Aust
US Defense Secretary Ash Carter has met with Defence Minister Kevin Andrews in Singapore, updating him on a probe into how anthrax was sent to Australia.
US Defense Secretary Ash Carter says he will find out who was responsible for the mistaken shipments of live anthrax to 11 US states and two countries, including Australia, and will "hold them accountable".
CALLING the shipments an "unfortunate incident", Carter said the Pentagon would make "sure that any public health consequences of this are avoided" and ensure it never happens again.
