Suspicious envelopes that forced to vacate Brussels’ Great Mosque only had flour

The Great Mosque of Brussels was evacuated yesterday afternoon after receiving «an envelope with potentially dangerous white powder.» The police and fire department activated an «anthrax alert.» The powder turned out to be just flour.

Despite this, nine parishioners and two agents were «decontaminated» and taken to hospital. Two rooms of the mosque were «sealed» before the «suspicious envelopes» were analyzed and it was determined a false alarm.
