ISLAMABAD (Pakistan) - A US official says two US diplomatic outposts in Pakistan received envelopes containing an unknown white powder last week, sparking a security scare.
US Embassy spokesman Lou Fintor says tests are being conducted on the substance. He declined comment on Sunday on whether any embassy staffers had become ill or were under observation.
The envelopes were sent to the US Embassy in Islamabad and the US Consulate in Karachi on Thursday and Friday.
Mr Fintor says both facilities have remained open, with no plans to close them. -- AP
