Chelsea boss sent death threats

Avram Grant was sent a package containing a mysterious powder
Anti-Semitic death threats have been sent to Chelsea football boss Avram Grant in a package containing a mysterious powder, police said.
The football club's training ground at Cobham, Surrey, was sealed off after a member of staff opened the package.

A note addressed to 52-year-old Grant contained anti-Jewish insults and claimed the powder was lethal.

A police source said it used the words: "When you open this letter you will die a very slow and painful death."

The letter also included threats to the manager's wife Tzofit, a well-know personality in Israel.

A spokesman for Surrey Police said: "We were called to Chelsea's training ground at Cobham at 12.15pm yesterday after they received a suspicious package."

The white powder was analysed by specialists from Surrey Fire Service and found to be harmless, police said.

Detectives are continuing their investigations to identify the source of the package.

Chelsea Football Club has so far made no comment. "yikes"
