Disinfection teams were called in Wednesday to the Lithuanian parliament after a suspicious letter was received just one room away from where Britain's Prince Charles had been earlier in the morning, Lithuanian officials said. 

The director of the Vilnius public health service, Romualdas Brusokas, told AFP there was no indication yet that the envelope, on which just "bin Laden" had been written, had in fact contained anthrax, but they were taking precautions -- VILNIUS, (AFP)
