Eight Afghans who ate an infected camel as part of a religious celebration died of what health experts suspect is a rare case of naturally occurring anthrax. Ten others fell sick in the southwestern province of Nimroz. Officials said they cannot say positively that the deaths were anthrax related until laboratory results are completed. Anthrax can occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals, or when anthrax spores are used as a weapon. Officials said there is no evidence of terrorism.
