(10-03) 11:46 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) --

U.S. Capitol Police reported four fires in Senate
office buildings Wednesday. All were extinguished
by midafternoon, but an investigation continued.

"They are suspicious in nature," said Sgt.
Kimberly Schneider.

She said two fires in the Dirksen Senate Office
Building and one in the Hart building next door
were reported in women's bathrooms and were
extinguished between 10:45 a.m. EDT and 12:30
p.m. A fourth, also in Dirksen, was reported
later and extinguished by mid-afternoon,
Schneider said.

Police were still investigating.

1. Wonder if the fires were a distraction to steal something or sneak something in?

2. talked to a staffer up there and no one was much distracted by it

In fact, nothing much was interrupted from what I was told. No evacuations etc.
