A federal judge has ordered ABC News reporter Brian Ross to name the sources he relied on in reporting about the anthrax attacks in 2001. Five other reporters were previously ordered to testify in the lawsuit brought by former Army scientist Steven Hatfill against the government, which named him a “person of interest” in the case. A lawyer for Hatfill revealed that two of the sources have voluntarily come forward and identified themselves but it does not identify them. (10/1/07)
