Victims' families and survivors of the 2001 anthrax mailings have arrived at FBI headquarters in Washington to hear the government's evidence against Bruce E. Ivins, according to News-Post reporters on the scene.

Ivins has emerged as the bureau's prime suspect in the anthrax attacks. He was one of the lead anthrax researchers in the country and worked at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick.

Ivins committed suicide last week amid reports the government was about to charge him with five counts of murder.
