CANBERRA - A suspicious package was found inside Australia's Parliament House today, two days after a mysterious powder was sent to the Indonesian embassy in Canberra, sparking a scare.
Australia's Sky television said the fire brigade was at the parliament in Canberra "dealing with a suspicious object".
The embassy scarefollows an emotional backlash over the 20-year sentencing of an Australian woman in Bali for smuggling drugs.
A Reuters correspondent in parliament said the underground loading dock, which receives mail at the building, had been closed. The loading dock is in a separate building to the actual parliament, but is part of the parliamentary complex.
