Anthrax: infant tests positive

NEW YORK, OCT. 16.A seven-month-old baby became the latest victim of anthrax even as authorities tried to quell fears of terrorist anthrax attacks after 110 envelopes containing white powder were sent to abortion clinics and planned parenthood facilities across the U.S.

Concerns were being expressed that media organisations might be the target.

A report from Washington said mail to Congress was today stopped indefinitely and galleries closed to the public as a letter sent to the Democratic Senate Majority Leader, Mr. Tom Daschle, was found sprinkled with a powder which tested positive for anthrax.
