Alarm NRBC with the embassy from Canada in Paris

PARIS - an alarm NRBC (nuclear, radiological, bacteriological and chemical) was started Monday morning with the embassy from Canada in Paris (VIIIe) following the reception of a suspect mail followed by the faintness of an employee (well an employee), one learned from police source.

This suspect mail, which must be analyzed, was received with the embassy of Canada, located 35 Montaigne avenue in Paris. One was unaware of not very front 11h00 (10h00 GMT) if it were of an envelope or a parcel.

A little later an employee who would have taken delivery of this mail and which opened it, made a faintness and would be put to bleed very slightly without the police force not knowing “if there is a bond of cause for purpose”, precise-tone of police source.

The plan planned for any alarm NRBC was thus set up “by “precaution” by the brigade of the sappers firemen of Paris (BSPP) at 9h38 (8h38 GMT).

The BSPP is of long date ready to face an attack of the type NRBC, privileging first aid in particular.

Thus, all the vehicles of firemen are equipped with behaviours light of decontamination (TLD) and avoided to intervene quickly on the spot in the event of alarm NRBC. The BSSP has for example 650 hoods for the touched people.

Firemen thus covered this combination Monday, noted a witness in this smart avenue of Paris, broadside of shops of the great names of the mode.

Of police source, one adds that in the state of the investigations, “no assumption can be excluded” and that it was necessary “careful on the origin of the faintness of the employee” to be described as “light”.

What language is this written in?

It's a mixture of French, Javascript and Babelfish.

"The BSPP is of long date ready to face an attack of the type NRBC, privileging first aid in particular.

Never mind, it's all crystal clear to me now.
