Suspicious letter in the US consulate in Berlin: police move out!

A surprising alarm yesterday in the US consulate in Berlin-Dahlem: A suspicious letter led to a comprehensive police operation. According to reports, the B.Z. was called at 11.55 a.m. after the consulate employees discovered an ominous envelope. The consulate post office was immediately cordoned off and experts from the criminal engineering institute of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office came to investigate the suspicious program. Fortunately, there were no injuries, the regular operation of the consulate could continue to be maintained.

The events fall at a time when the shipment of letters and packages are increasingly complicated internationally. Due to the strike of the Canadian postal union since mid-November, there have been significant delays in the delivery of shipments to Canada, as Deutsche Post . There are also problems in other regions: there are delivery bottlenecks in various crisis regions, which further restricts the shipping options. In addition, letters cannot currently be sent to certain areas, including North Korea and Syria. The international situation has a strong influence on postal services and leads to unpredictable delivery times.

The incident in the US consulate not only shows the care of the security forces, but also underlines the current challenges in international postal traffic, which are tightened by political unrest and strikes. The unexpected clash of security -relevant incidents and logistical challenges raises concerns about global communication channels.
