WASHINGTON (AP) - The World Bank has closed its Washington
headquarters today because of a telephoned bomb threat.
The building is located near the White House. Meetings there of
the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have been
frequent targets of street protests.
A World Bank statement says law enforcement officials are
investigating the threat and says the closure is just a precaution.
