SOFIA, June 26 (Reuters) - Shares in Bulgaria's First 
Investment Bank  5f4.bb , the country's third biggest lender, 
fell 14.1 percent on Thursday following a ruling party 
lawmaker's comments that another bank could be at risk of a bank 
run, traders said.   
    A run on Corporate Commercial Bank (Corpbank)  6C9.BB  last 
week prompted Bulgaria's central bank to seize control of the 
lender, freeze its operations and start talks with shareholders 
about a rescue.  
    Shares in other Bulgarian banks were also down sharply.
