U.S. embassy employees poisoned by mail: French police
Three employees of the U.S. embassy in Paris were being treated for poisoning on Friday after opening mail, a police source told Rooters.

The source was not immediately able to specify the nature of the poisoning or the seriousness of their condition. A front man for the U.S. embassy was not immediately available for comment.
"I can say no more!"
Paris police now say the envelope contained tear gas.
