MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The FBI says letters containing white
powder that were sent to seven governors were all postmarked in
Texas.
Tests showed the powder was not dangerous. But officials are
still trying to determine what it was.
FBI spokesman Rich Kolko said Tuesday the Dallas FBI office is
investigating who sent the letters to the governors' offices in
Alabama, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana and
Rhode Island. He says governors' offices in all other states have
been warned to be on the lookout for suspicious letters.
The FBI says that even though the letters are a hoax, sending
them was a crime because law enforcement and public safety
personnel were called away from other duties to respond.
