Deutsche Bank evacuates workers after powder found


    FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Forty Deutsche Bank employees from an office in the eastern German town of Schkeuditz near Leipzig are undergoing health checks after a letter containing a white powder was found at their building, local German police said on Friday.

    A Deutsche Bank spokesman said he could not confirm the details from the police but said the building housed back-office operations for Germany's biggest lender.
