The BBC stuns with America's Cup terror warning:
Counter-terrorism police are investigating three threatening letters, including one containing cyanide, which were sent to the US Embassy and the British and Australian High Commissions in the capital, Wellington.I wonder which one of the many groups devoted to "peace" they came from?
Assistant Police Commissioner for Counter-terrorism, John White, said the identical letters were intercepted and "secured" at the Auckland Mail Centre after staff noticed some white powder.
"A small quantity of cyanide (was) in one of the letters," Mr White said.
"It's quite a serious situation and we wouldn't want to take it lightly," he said.
He said the threats related to "terrorist acts" that could occur during the final races of the America's Cup in Auckland if there was an escalation in the Iraq crisis.
