The men, who are believed to be U.S. citizens, were picked up Wednesday night, after "FBI agents were told the two men had biological agents," the source said. An FBI official said that the two were charged with plotting to use a toxic biological agent as a weapon. FBI officials found an unknown substance at an undisclosed site, and dispatched the FBI Hazardous Materials Response Unit from Quantico, Virginia, to examine the material, the source said. A spokesman for Nellis Air Force Base, near Las Vegas, said authorities impounded a vehicle at the request of the FBI. The spokesman gave no further details. CNN was told that five U.S. Army specialists have gone to Las Vegas from the Army's Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. Four of the soldiers are with the Army's Technical Escort Unit, and one is a lab technician specializing in chemical and biological threats.

Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon, contributes health news stories to CNN.com. He joined the CNN.com chat room from CNN Center in Atlanta. CNN: Dr. Gupta, what is anthrax? And terrorism aside, what are the ways that people can contract it? GUPTA: Anthrax is a bacteria that forms spores that we've known about for a long time. In fact, anthrax was categorized as one of the first occupational hazards of ancient wool-sorters. It was a much more common infection years ago, but we've had very few natural cases over the last hundred years. Anthrax typically infects the skin in more than 95 percent of cases. It can also affect the GI tract, or actually be breathed in as inhalational anthrax. There have only been 18 confirmed inhalational cases from 1900 to 1976, and not a single case, before yesterday, over the last 25 years. Typically, the way people get it now is through the handling of animals or soil that contain the bacteria and its spores. CHAT PARTICIPANT: Is it true anthrax is really not detectable, and when you get sick is when you first know you have it?

Anthrax is a rare infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax occurs naturally around the world in wild and domestic hoofed animals, especially cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and antelopes. It can also occur in humans when they are exposed to the bacterium, usually through handling animals or animal hides. There are three forms of anthrax infection: cutaneous (skin), inhalation (lungs), and gastrointestinal (stomach and intestine). If people have been intentionally exposed, as in a bioterrorist release, contact with skin would be the most likely route of exposure. Breathing in the spores that have been spread through the air could cause inhalation anthrax. How common is anthrax and who can get it?

The envelopes, bearing the message "The jihad is starting" spread fear in the Schierstein district where they were delivered on Wednesday morning. "There are no indications of anthrax," a police spokesman told a news conference on Thursday. He said the authorities had not yet ruled out the presence of some sort of biological or chemical agent. The envelopes had been taken to a Stuttgart laboratory for further testing. All 16 people who had come into contact with the envelopes were being kept under observation in hospital and given antibiotics as a precautionary measure. About 100 police and fire brigade officers were involved in the operation to seal the street and investigate.

This discovery lends credence to the theory that whoever mailed the finely milled anthrax spores known to be of the Ames strain has a current connection to a sophisticated laboratory. EXTRA INFORMATION In-Depth: Anthrax Investigators have long believed the suspect possessed a sophisticated knowledge of anthrax and a high level of training. Currently, many scientists who are knowledgeable about anthrax are taking polygraph tests and undergoing interviews as investigators try to uncover suspects. Still, investigators say they are far from solving the mystery of who sent the deadly spores.

Silent, invisible killer. Inhalational anthrax is virtually always fatal. There are low barriers to production. Low cost of producing the anthrax material. Not high-technology. Knowledge is widely available. Easy to produce in large quantities. It is easy to weaponize. It is extremely stable. It can be stored almost indefinitely as a dry powder. It can be loaded, in a freeze-dried condition, in munitions or disseminated as an aerosol with crude sprayers. Currently, we have a limited detection capability. What is Anthrax?
