美国银行机构在金融危机的阴影下已经过得非常艰难,而近日频繁出现的装有白色粉末的恐吓信更让它们的日子惶惶不安。据悉,从10月20日到22日,全美已经有至少11个州的45家金融机构接到“白粉信”,而且目标主要是针对摩根大通银行的分行。
据美国媒体报道,22日最新收到“白粉信”的是在亚利桑那州凤凰城的7家摩根大通分行。由于此前已经有数十家其它分行接到类似信件,因此凤凰城当地有些雇员比较警觉,在收到可疑信件时并没有打开,而是直接向当局报告。
联邦调查局发言人表示,目前还不能确定凤凰城与其他地方分行收到的“白粉信”是否有关联。45家金融机构收到的大部分信封中除了粉末,还有一封带有威胁性信息的信。警方初步化验没有在粉末中发现任何有毒物质,但还需要进一步的仔细检验。
此外,位于纽约的《纽约时报》总部22日也收到了“白粉信”。当时一名在13楼的员工打开信后发现白色可疑物质,随后报警。《纽约时报》总部大楼因此暂时部分封锁。警方尚不能确定这一波恐吓信是不是发自同一来源。据悉,位于得克萨斯州达拉斯的联邦储蓄保险公司也收到了粉末信件。
911袭击之后,美国曾发生邮寄炭疽病菌、导致5人死亡的恐怖事件。从那之后,警方对于这类恐怖袭击的手法特别警觉。摩根大通银行最近收购华盛顿互惠银行的部分资产,超越花旗成为美国最大银行,在这次来势汹汹的全球金融风暴中,它成为少数几家未受其害、反蒙其利的大型金融机构。
