Two Norwegian postal workers suffered burns and itching after handling a letter sent to the Israeli Embassy in Norway.
The Norway Post reported:
Two employees at an Oslo post office were taken to hospital and placed in isolation ward, when they showed suspicious reactions including a rash with itching after having handled a letter addressed to the Israeli Embassy.
The letter was Sunday morning under investigaton at the Norwegian Institute for Public Health, to check whether it has been contaminated with a chemical in some way, or with infectious matters.It was first thought it could be antrax, but this now seems unlikely, experts say, since the reaction was immediate.
