TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The Presidential Office received two suspicious packages Friday morning which it turned over for investigation to a special unit of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but they turned out to contain tape recordings.

Presidential spokesman Alex Huang said that at 10 a.m. Friday, presidential guards collected the mail and found two packages which they found suspicious. X-ray tests showed that the mail might contain batteries, wires and metal, indicating that an explosive device was possible, reports said.

According to regular procedure, the nearest police precinct station was alerted, and the CIB anti-explosives unit came to pick up the packages and dismantled at another location, Huang said.     [FULL  STORY]
