FBI: Suspicious letters mailed to D.C. schools - USATODAY.com: "WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 30 letters that contained a white, powdery substance delivered to District of Columbia schools on Thursday are similar to those mailed to schools elsewhere in the U.S. over the last several weeks, the FBI said.
Preliminary testing by hazardous materials crews found the powder in the letters received in the district was not harmful, two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press.
One of the officials said it had the look and consistency of cornstarch. In addition to the powder, the envelopes contained a letter referring to al-Qaeda and the FBI, that official said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
No one was injured by the powder."
