Bomb team brought in over suspect parcel for Alan Shatter (Irish Justice Minister)

Source: Irish Independent

A GARDA station was evacuated for several hours after an army bomb disposal team was called to examine a suspicious package addressed to Justice Minister Alan Shatter.

It was the second suspicious parcel to have been posted to the minister in the past week.

Both were found to contain harmless substances and photographs of Nazi troops in the 1930s.

The parcel was similar to last week's package, which contained baking powder and a picture of a Nazi rally in the Polish city of Gdansk with images of five swastikas.

Yesterday's package also included a photograph of Nazi troops but the exact nature of the powder could not be immediately determined.

Other anti-Semitic material has been sent in the past to the Department of Justice and videos and photographs were also posted online.
