BEIJING - Thorough planning enabled Beijing Olympics organizers to stave off threats to the 2008 Games ranging from bioterrorism to unsafe sex, a joint Chinese-United Nations report said on Wednesday.
Security forces dealt with several potential biological, chemical and explosive attacks, including an incident in which packages containing white powder were sent to five unidentified embassies in Beijing, the report said.
Tests later proved the powder was harmless, a Beijing Health Bureau official said.
