The cafeteria of the UN headquarters has been evacuated and sealed off after a suspicious envelope with white powder inside was found there, RIA Novosti news agency reports quoting UN officials in New York. In November 2009 seven UN foreign missions received packages containing suspicious powder which eventually was found to be flour. In October and November 2001, five people were killed after coming in contact with mailings containing anthrax.
