A relatively rare biological agent has been detected in air filters serving Washington D.C. in recent weeks, ABC News has learned but current evidence does not show any indication whatsoever of terrorism.
The federal government found six air filters around the nation’s capital checked on Sept. 24 and 25 contained “trace amounts” of tularemia, a type of bacteria.
