The US Embassy in Suva remains closed after a white powder incident occurred at the embassy last week on Christmas Eve.
The Embassy received an envelope containing white powder, however after initial tests and investigations it was revealed that the incident was a hoax.
However, following established procedures to ensure the safety of staff and the public, the Embassy will remain closed until they have received final testing results.
American citizens are told to contact the embassy duty officer if emergencies occur. Fijilive, 06/01/09.
