NEW YORK (AP) - Former president Bill Clinton's office was briefly evacuated after a worker opened a package containing a suspicious powder, police said.

A Secret Service agent assigned to the Harlem office opened the package at about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, police said. A letter and a vial of powder were inside.

Preliminary tests were negative for anthrax. The city Department of Health would conduct further tests, said Detective Bernard Gifford, a police spokesman.

Clinton was not in the office when the package was opened. The building was evacuated for two hours while police investigated.

The agent was not hurt but was examined at Bellevue Hospital as a precaution, police said.
==================================

Thats Odd. I thought the whole White Powder thing was over with. I guess someone is still out there playing games.


*edit: changed 'power' to 'powder' in Title.

Anyone can cause alot of trouble and have some fun just by sticking some white powder in an envelope. Crazy crazy times.

And don't drink the water


It was probably monica!

Apparently, the Bush Crime Family is back to its old tricks.

White powder tests negative for anthrax.
How about testing it for ricin. That seems to be the latest mail threat.


zero lift

First goes my comment on the title. Like the typo. White POWER Found in Bill Clinton's Mail.

Second, why can't Bill send a staffer to a street corner to buy his coke instead of ordering it through the mail?

It could be any powder e.g flour, washing powder, if the
agent wasnt hurt or infected then it isnt Anthrax then.

Oh yes, what a bunch of scoundrels...........

Dick Tracy is on the case.............

So why are we talking about powder in a white power thread? can someone fix the ignorant title.

Probably just a new sample from Columbia that broke open inside the envelope. Some of the books I read from the Clinton years leads me to think that Bill is not unused to having "white powder" around.
