A Finnish television company in Helsinki received a suspect letter on Tuesday containing an unidentified powder, the Finnish news agency STT/FNB reported.
The letter, which arrived with the morning mail delivery to commercial television company MTV3, was opened by an employee. The room was evacuated and police were called in to investigate the matter, the agency said.
Public health authorities were also at the scene, the agency quoted MTV3 president Ilkka Kylmaelae as saying.
The letter came as new cases of anthrax were discovered in the United States and a spate of scares and hoaxes emerged around the world – Helsinki, (AFP)
