Ireland�s Jewish Justice Minister Alan Shatter has been subjected to an anti-Semitic chemical attack. Shatter was sent a package containing a suspicious white powder, a Nazi photograph and a swastika emblem.

Irish leader Enda Kenny said the sending of the package, which a bomb squad later determined was baking powder, was �a new low.�

63-year-old Shatter was born in Dublin and is the only Jew in the Irish parliament. Shatter�s paternal grandparents moved to the British Isles in the early twentieth century from Eastern Europe.
