On a paper bag were anti-American slogans: US consulate in Zurich evacuated.
Moreover, diplomatic employees told BLICK that the paper bag had been labeled "for the SWAT team" and "for the US company" in English, and had a telephone number on it. According to reports, this bag has apparently triggered a police operation.
As the newspaper reported, a man who had been harassing consulate employees was arrested about two weeks ago.
