WASHINGTON - US authorities have so far recommended that four civilians take precautionary medication after a US military facility in Utah mistakenly shipped live samples of anthrax, instead of inactive ones, a US official said on Wednesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, did not describe the medication, saying only that it was a form of "preventative prophylaxis."
