An ABC News employee was being treated after opening an envelope containing a suspicious white powder mailed to the network's offices in New York, sources at the network said.
"It has not been confirmed it was anything definite," a staff member at the network told AFP Monday, noting that a female employee had been taken to a hospital after opening the envelope containing "a white substance."
Another employee downplayed the incident, saying it was "highly unlikely it was anything."
Powder-filled envelopes containing the deadly anthrax bacteria were mailed to media outlets, members of the US Congress and other targets late in 2001.
Those attacks killed five people, infected 20 others and caused the evacuation and micro-cleansing of offices where the letters were received, including the US Capitol.
No one has been arrested in connection with the attacks.
