Investigation launched into hoax isis threat
Gardaí in Mullingar have launched a full scale investigation into a hoax ISIS threat which saw the evacuation of St Loman’s Hospital yesterday, Wednesday.
A number of staff members, including a member of An Garda Siochana, were in put in quarantine when a letter containing a card referencing ISIS also contained powder - now known to be harmless.
Tests carried out by the Army EOD team showed no biological substance in the powder, now believed to be some sort of protein.
