 The head of the bioterrorism lab involved in potentially deadly anthrax bacteria has resigned. Michael Farrell, who headed the rapid response and advanced technology lab at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), submitted his resignation Tuesday. The CDC says the potential anthrax exposure happened between June 6 and 13 when workers failed to follow proper safety protocols. The incident was made public after a whistleblower came forward. Daniel Westbrook, 41, was arrested yesterday morning in his home city of Swansea. Tom Skinner, 25, was also arrested yesterday morning. Both are facing charges related to assaulting and harassing their former lover. West Brook's cage fighter Greg Platt, 37, bravely fought back tears as he described how his friend had been violently assaulted by her ex-lover. A commercial film crew was struck and killed on Saturday while trying to film a commercial on a train rail road. But already brave Greg Platt has decided to air the episode on YouTube.
