New Zealand rules out first of three Ebola mailbox claims

Wellington - New Zealand police on Thursday ruled out the presence
of the deadly Ebola virus in one of three mystery vials discovered in
mailboxes this week.
Tests on the two other vials have not yet been completed.
The vials were contained in suspicious packages sent to the US
embassy and parliament buildings in the capital Wellington and to a
newspaper office in Auckland.
Although no details have been released about what else was in the
package found in the embassy mail room, the two other parcels
contained documents claiming the blood-like liquid in the vials was
contaminated with Ebola.
However, police said tests in Australia on a small bottle sent to the
New Zealand Herald detected no sign of Ebola contamination.
