WASHINGTON -- AFP
The trail of anthrax has widened to more federal buildings here, while a woman in New Jersey has contracted skin anthrax and a New York hospital worker is in serious condition with suspected inhalation anthrax.

Traces of anthrax were found Monday at the US Supreme Court, the State Department and at a building housing the Health and Human Services and the government-owned Voice of America.

Results of tests over the weekend found traces of anthrax in the mail room at the main Supreme Court building in Washington.

The Supreme Court justices met at a US district court in the capital, and the main building will remain closed on Tuesday.
