Anthrax sent to Senate leader


A letter opened in the office of US Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle "had anthrax in it", President George W Bush said.
Mr Bush said members of staff who had been exposed were being treated.

Mr Bush said there may be a link between US. anthrax cases and Islamic militant Osama Bin Laden, accused of masterminding the 11 September attacks on the United States, but he said there was not any hard evidence of a link.

A spokesman for Mr Daschle told AP news agency the suspicious package was received at his office in a Senate office building across the street from the Capitol building.
