A Lufthansa plane with a suspicious powder sits on the tarmac at "Tom Jobim" Airport in Rio de Janeiro on October 14, 2001. A ground cleaning crew discovered 0.1 ounce (3 grams) of white powder inside a newspaper aboard a flight from Frankfurt which health officials were testing to determine if the substance was dangerous. The incident came amid growing concern over possible germ warfare in the USA, where a Florida man died last month after inhaling anthrax spores. —  REUTERS
