During the weekend, 11 estates in the capital of Norway, Oslo, received suspicious white powder by mail. The owners of the estates are mainly elders, and mainly the estates are located in the west.

Some of these owners have received antibiotic cures, because this powder might be anthrax. The test-results for anthrax were released during the morning of the 22nd of May.

The results of the tests did not indicate any form for anthrax. However, this is the second time that white powder is found in the mail, the first time was shortly after the 9-11 attacks.
