All the fires have been extinguished quickly and without injuries. "It's an interesting and unsolved situation," CNN's Jessica Yellin reported. "This is the seventh fire of this nature since the start of October, and officials here say that they have no viable suspects and they've made no arrests." "Folks in the building are talking about it," Yellin continued. "Everybody seems to be scratching their heads. And one of those Senate office buildings was the site of the anthrax mailings that happened some years ago, so there's some real discomfort when these sorts of unanswered crimes happen around the Capitol." The following video is from CNN's Newsroom, broadcast on November 2, 2007.
