    Bugging devices were removed this morning in an incidence hotel sources termed as one that baffled Annan. Our sources revealed that it was a hotel cleaner who discovered the device that he described as loudspeakers and he only wanted them switched off to facilitate cleaning of the room. Annan has yet to officially react on the issues.

    Annan's aides were called in and conducted a swip to remove all other bugging devices in the room, official figures were not released on how many of them were found.

    It is not yet known who may have placed the devices, but an investigation is underway to establish source of the equipments.
