From Times Wire Reports
The Postal Service has reopened 11 Washington-area facilities that had been closed as a precaution after tests at a Navy mail-sorting office indicated the possible presence of anthrax.
Follow-up tests have come back negative for anthrax.
The facilities were closed after an automated alarm and a test indicated the presence of small amounts of biological pathogens, possibly anthrax, at the Anacostia Naval Station, which handles mail for federal agencies.
