Paris: US Embassy workers tested after suspicious letter
None
Two employees of the US Embassy in Paris were undergoing medical tests after handling a suspicious letter Friday, the embassy said Friday. A Paris police official said the employees were "unwell" after the incident, without elaborating. Embassy spokesman Paul Patin told The Associated Press there was "no indication that anyone is in danger or hurt."
Mailroom employees identified a "suspicious letter" and the embassy alerted the French authorities, Patin said. "The letter is being examined by chemical experts. The two people who handled the letter are being examined by medical authorities" at the Paris hospital Hotel Dieu, Patin said. (AP)
