Austrian mayor gets box of dead mice in mail

The mayor of an Austrian town has received a package in the mail containing two dead mice in what looked like a box of pralines.

Senior police official Alois Lissl says Ansfelden Mayor Walter Ernhard got the chilling package last week along with an anonymous, handwritten letter that contained personal insults.

Lissl said Friday police are investigating to track down the sender, whom they suspect is a man from the same town in Upper Austria.

With his voice breaking, Ernhard told broadcaster ORF he was shaken but "still believes in the good in people."
