A British pensioner has been charged with sending packages containing sugar and weedkiller to Prime Minister Tony Blair and his family.
Shirley Rita Freed allegedly posted parcels to 10 Downing Street marked for the attention of Mr Blair, his wife Cherie and son Euan.
The 72-year-old, from Littlehampton in West Sussex, is also accused of sending letters containing white powder to Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt and senior backbench MP Ann Clwyd.
A Scotland yard spokesman said Freed was charged with offences under the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001.
