Nerve gas ingredient found in letters to embassies in Brussels
BRUSSELS - Belgian investigators found a nerve gas ingredient in letters addressed to the Belgian prime minister's office and several embassies, the government said Wednesday. The letters, some of which were intercepted by police due to anthrax fears, prompted an emergency meeting of the health, justice and interior ministers to assess the incident and consider extra security measures, a government spokeswoman said. At least 10 letters were mailed to addresses, including the U.S., British and Saudi Embassies in Brussels, as Belgium was trying 23 suspected accomplices of al Qaeda, the radical Muslim group blamed for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.Posted by: liberalhawk 2003-06-04 |
