CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Bacterial powder that sparked a terror alert when it was sent to the Indonesian Embassy was probably harmless, police reported Thursday.
Prime Minister John Howard said he suspects the powder was sent in retaliation over last week's conviction of an Australian woman in Indonesia on drug smuggling charges. Her 20-year prison sentence drew public outrage at home.
"This is a reckless, evil act," Howard told Parliament.
