The former Army scientist who was the prime suspect in the deadly 2001 anthrax mailings agreed Friday to take $5.82 million from the government to settle his claim that the Justice Department and the FBI invaded his privacy and ruined his career.

John Ashcroft in 2002, said that label and repeated leaks of investigative details to the media damaged his reputation.

Biowarfare expert Steven J. Hatfill stepped up his efforts Sunday to clear his name, announcing that he has offered to provide blood and handwriting samples to the FBI and blasting Atty. Gen.

Steven J. Hatfill, the former Army biomedical researcher deemed a "person of interest" in the October 2001 anthrax attacks, struck back at the government Tuesday, filing a lawsuit in federal court alleging a yearlong campaign of harassment and illegal conduct against him led by Atty.

No one knows if he is guilty. But any American who has even glanced at a newspaper or news broadcast in recent days by now knows Steven J. Hatfill's name. They may not know the details of Hatfill's sudden ascent to headline fame. But by this week, the American public knew that the FBI was investigating the bioterrorism specialist in connection with the anthrax letters that killed five and sickened at least 13 more last fall. Hatfill's is the only name they know.

A bioterrorism specialist whose home has twice been searched for clues to last fall's anthrax killings lashed out at the FBI and publicly declared his innocence Sunday, saying he had "never ever worked with anthrax in my life."

A Frederick, Md., doctor whose apartment was searched by federal agents for a second time Thursday in the ongoing anthrax investigation was suspended from his job Friday, his attorney said. Steven J.

A federal judge held a former USA Today reporter in contempt of court as she continued refusing to identify sources for stories about a former Army scientist under scrutiny in the 2001 anthrax attacks. U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said reporter Toni Locy defied his order in August that she cooperate with Steven J. Hatfill in his lawsuit against the government. Walton indicated that he would impose escalating daily fines until she divulged her sources, but that he would take a few more days to decide whether to postpone the penalty as she pursues an appeal.

A lawyer for Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, called a "person of interest" in the investigation of the anthrax attacks, demanded Thursday that Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft find the fired researcher a new job. Attorney Victor Glasberg wrote in the letter that Hatfill was fired from his job as a researcher and probably will not be able find employment because of the Justice Department's "inappropriate actions" in naming him a person of interest.
