Norwegian female defense worker treated for anthrax

Defense issued anthrax alert

A female employee at Norway's Defense has undergone preventative treatment after opening an envelope that contained white powder.

The incident took place at Jåttå in Stavanger, at a military base that houses both NATO's training center and the Norwegian Defense Joint Operative Headquarters. The envelope, sent from the USA, was addressed to American representatives.

"The police have been called in and they took the powder, which is now sent for analysis," press spokesman Erling Kristiansen at DJOH told newspaper VG.

The woman, a civilian employee, is being treated as a precaution as the Defense cannot rule out the possibility of anthrax bacteria being sent.

The woman was in physical contact with the powder and was treated according to routine procedure, examined by health personnel and given antibiotics.

I wonder, why would anyone want to do this to Norway? Let me think...

I wonder if they'll try to blame this on Hatfill?

Maybe Clinton endorser William Crowe(Ex Bush 41 JCS) needs another no-bid Anthrax vaccine contract?

My bet in on another loony Muslim, sending baking soda to stir up the infidels...

After all -- we all know the lunatic sonsuvbitchs have a wonderful sense of humor - don't we..

I'd love to show some appreciation - and finance a printer to produce about 50,000,000 copies of all cartoons showing the truthful images of MoreHamED and airdrop them over Mecca, Damascus, etc, etc....

Semper Fi

Is it related to the cartoons problem? After all, the Norwegians and the Danish were the most attacked by the Muslims for the cartoons.

And if the mail has come from America, there is a silent enemy within, already.

Who in America would know where to send a letter to a NATO military base in Norway? Not your average hippie leftist or Muslim. It almost has to be either someone pretty sophisticated and knowledgeable, someone with an ingenious imagination, or some disgruntled employee or grunt who worked there earlier and knows the address.

It would be interesting to know if the letter was postmarked in New Jersey or Florida.

Anthrax (the real stuff) is not a white powder, although it could be mixed with baby powder, powdered sugar, etc and made to look "white'.

Norway did something a couple of months ago.....sent some help to Iraq.....can't remember. ???

There isn't the slightest indication in the article that the powder actually is anthrax (which isn't a white powder, incidentally.)

Yup, in order to target Norway's main airport with anthrax, it's useful to send it in the mail to an addressed served by appropriately routed air service.

THis is a high pucker factor situation. Still, Cipro works.
