CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Authorities closed down a loading bay at Australia's Parliament House on Tuesday after a package of white powder was found, the latest in a series of similar scares at official buildings in Canberra.
The find came as Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf was given a formal welcome on a lawn outside the building at the start of an official visit to Australia.
A Parliament House spokeswoman, Hilary Penfold, said there was "no danger to people in the building." No further details were available, and it was not immediately clear whether the powder was dangerous.
