Anthrax sent to Gilani office

Islamabad, Feb. 1 (Reuters): A small parcel mailed to an office of the Pakistani Prime Minister in October contained a small amount of deadly anthrax spores, a spokesman said today.

"The security team became suspicious of the package," Akram Shahidi, a spokesman for Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said. "After lab testing, it was determined that this was anthrax."

There were no reported casualties.
