Investigations: Unknown liquid in letter - soldier in quarantine

A soldier of the Bundeswehr is in a domestic quarantine after contact with a suspicious letter. The incident occurred at a location in Bonn, where an unknown liquid emerged from the letter. A spokesman for the Bundeswehr emphasized that the soldier currently has no health problems and the quarantine was ordered as a precaution.

The soldier discovered the mail on Friday morning. According to the spokesman, the show showed several suspicious elements, including the ominous liquid, the nature of which must now be examined in more detail in the laboratory. The results of this investigation will be expected in the coming days. More details on the mailing have not yet been announced, but the authorities have already initiated investigations.

ABC use and measures

In the course of the incident, a building of the Bundeswehr and information room command was partially evacuated. An emergency doctor carried out an examination of the soldier and found that there was no health effects. This medical intervention was part of the security protocol that is used in such situations.

The fire brigade carried out as part of an ABC insert (atomic, biologically, chemical) samples of the unknown substance. The first results of the investigations indicate that no dangers are based on the material. The ABC use was finally completed on the evening of the same day and the situation relaxed.

An ABC alarm is triggered in Germany if the danger to dangerous substances is suspected. This standardized procedure should react quickly and effectively to potentially dangerous layers. The Bundeswehr and the police are now working together to clarify the origin of the suspicious letter and the liquid it contains.
