'September 11' group sends threats to embassies

A group calling itself “September 11” sent terror threats to the British High Commission and American and Australian embassies in New Zealand warning it had 55lbs of cyanide to use against US interests if Iraq was attacked, police said today.

Although the group’s name contains a clear reference to the 2001 attacks in the US by al-Qaida, police spokesman John Neilson said authorities believe the threat came from within New Zealand.
