Powder Sent to 3 U.N. Foreign Missions
A white powder was mailed to three United Nations foreign missions in Manhattan office buildings on Monday, but no one was harmed by it, the police said.
The powder, delivered in envelopes, was reported by workers at the Uzbekistan Mission, at 801 Second Avenue, near 43rd Street; the French Mission, at 245 East 47th Street, near Second Avenue; and the Austrian Mission, at 600 Third Avenue, near 40th Street, between 4 and 4:30 p.m. The missions are all within a few blocks of the United Nations building.
Hazardous-materials workers took the powder to a laboratory to determine whether it was toxic. Twenty-five people who were exposed underwent a procedure to remove the powder.
A Police Department spokesman said that the powder at the Uzbekistan Mission, where two people were exposed, initially tested negative for anthrax or any other dangerous substance.
Paul J. Browne, the department’s chief spokesman, said that as an officer was handling one of the envelopes at that mission, the officer saw a note with the words Al Qaeda on it. The Associated Press reported that the envelopes were mailed in Dallas
