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.
