SUKKUR, Nov 5: The Jacobabad post office received a letter containing white powder suspected to be anthrax.
The letter was addressed to the Almadina Hardware, Jacobabad. The sender’s address was not mentioned on the envelope. When this envelope was delivered to the sorting table white powder was coming out of it. The entire post office staff became panicky and most of the officials started leaving for their homes.
The assistant postmaster, Abdul Hamid Kalhoro, sealed the envelope and handed it over to the medical superintendent, Civil Hospital, who immediately dispatched it to the Aga Khan Hospital, Karachi, for an analysis.
