Parts of Congress evacuated over suspicious letters
None
US congressional police cleared parts of two Senate office buildings on Wednesday over concerns over suspicious letters and a package, a US Capitol Police spokesman said.
Officials are looking into a suspicious package in the Hart building. They are also looking into suspicious envelopes in the Russell building and are questioning an individual in that matter, the spokesman said. On Tuesday, US authorities intercepted a letter sent to US Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi that preliminary tests showed contained the deadly poison ricin. (Reuters)
