Letter sent to French minister tests positive for Plague!

French police are investigating a suspicious letter sent to the interior minister that tested positive for yersinia pestis. 

The letter, unstamped, and with undisclosed “inscriptions” on the back, roused suspicions among workers. Inside, they discovered a black powder and a letter containing racist insults. 

Preliminary tests conducted by a CBRN unit are reported to have revealed a “slight positivity for the plague”. The local prosecutor’s office warned that the initial test results could be a “false positive” and said further analyses are being carried out. Full results are expected later.
