Anthrax widow says she's thankful FBI solved case Thu Aug 7, 12:12 PM ET
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The widow of a tabloid photo editor who died in the anthrax attacks says the FBI's work solving the case will bolster her lawsuit against the government.
In West Palm Beach Thursday, Maureen Stevens said she was thankful for federal investigators' efforts to close the case. Justice Department prosecutors say they're confident they could have convicted Army scientist Bruce Ivins for the 2001 attacks. Ivins committed suicide before he was charged.
Stevens' lawsuit, filed years ago, contends the U.S. government didn't put enough security in place to prevent the attacks.
Robert Stevens was the first of five people to be killed in the anthrax attacks.
