WORLD BANK ANTHRAX WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------------------

May 21, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - Some 1,200 World Bank employees were advised to stay home from work today after inconclusive tests detected anthrax contamination on mail bound for their building.

After routine anthrax testing of mail that was to be delivered to one of five World Bank buildings in Washington came back positive, it was put through a second, more sophisticated, test which came back negative, World Bank spokeswoman Caroline Anstey said.
