CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Indonesia's embassy in Australia was closed Wednesday after a package containing what authorities described as a "biological agent" was delivered there. Officials linked the incident to outrage over the conviction in Bali of an Australian woman on drug charges.
Prime Minister John Howard, who apologized to Indonesia for the incident, said the agent was a powder sent in an envelope addressed to the Indonesian ambassador, Imron Cotan.
"It would be the first time if the preliminary results are confirmed, such a biological agent has been sent in Australia," Howard told reporters.
