23 'Decontaminated' in Madrid terror alert

The police in Madrid are analyzing the white powder substance that was found on Saturday at a Post Office located in the Cybele Palace that also houses Madrid City Hall, the Spain Report newspaper said.

A spokesperson for Madrid emergency services told news outlet that the envelope and its contents are currently being studied in a police laboratory. The spokesperson did not specify how long will it take to analyze the substance.
