ATHENS: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Athens yesterday received an envelope containing suspicious powder, the fire department said, after dozens of mystery deliveries to Greek universities and institutions.
A police source said the envelope for the high commissioner was similar to nearly 40 letters sent from India to Greece over recent weeks.
All contained an industrial irritant that provoked some allergic reactions but was not dangerous to health, the authorities said
According to media reports, some of the letters contained “Islamist content” written in English.
On Friday another five suspicious envelopes were intercepted at several post offices and the Thessaly Technological Educational Institute in Larisa. — AFP
