FBI: No threat from package at Credit Suisse in New York

From Reuters: There is no threat from a suspicious package that arrived on Wednesday in the mail at the Credit Suisse headquarters in New York City that forced part of the building to be evacuated, police said.

"It appears to be a legitimate shipment," New York Police spokesman Paul Browne told Reuters, adding that it looked like the package contained camera equipment.

The incident came a week after an envelope containing explosives was sent to the head of Deutsche Bank, Josef Ackermann, in Frankfurt but it was intercepted before it reached him.

Credit Suisse said in a statement that it alerted police after it found two suspicious packages in its mailroom. Police said the company deemed the packages suspicious after a screening of them showed batteries and wires.
