Chemical Weapons Campaign on US officials
Obama has received a letter which was tested positive for 'suspicious substances'.
A letter was sent to a Senator earlier today which tested positive for ricin, a chemical weapon used in attempted and plotted attacks in the US and UK. A third letter, sent to another senator, has also tested for 'suspicious substance'.
The attacks are not thought to be explicitly related to Monday's bombing of the Boston Marathon, though has been theorised that it could be part of a [i]Turner Diaries[/i] themed series of 'inspirational' anonymous attacks on the state.
Letters have been postmarked April 8th, so possibly unrelated in that case.
Sender was a Mississippi man, name withheld.

2 RepliesSomebody has been watching too much Breaking Bad. In all seriousness, I find it strange that something like the marathon bombing and these letters happened so close together. That said, I doubt they are related in any way. I just wouldn't be too surprised if they actually were. Was there a note inside with the poison or just the poison?

I don't see how it can't be related. Regardless, it's pretty scary.

Astronomical odds that this is not related. Time to speculate.
