| Suspicious powder sent to Gore considered a hoax |
| 2002-08-28 |
| A suspicious powder spilled from an envelope opened Tuesday at Al Gore's Nashville office, an incident an FBI agent referred to as an "anthrax hoax case." Gore spokesman Jano Cabrera said the envelope was received in the mail Monday. It was opened Tuesday by an office manager and the white powder spilled from it, Cabrera said. He described the piece of mail as "smaller than a usual envelope." The contents of the envelope were being tested. "No one has been transported because of medical reasons, and no suspects have been identified," said Jon Stephens, spokesman for the FBI in Nashville. "Right now, we are referring to it as an anthrax hoax case." This sort of thing would be boring if it wasn't so stoopid. I guess in any national crisis, all the cockroaches in the nation will come out from under their rocks and the cracks in the National Floor to feed. |
