Letter to Obama with ‘suspicious substance’ being tested for ricin

A letter address to President Barack Obama was being tested for the poison ricin on Wednesday.

A law enforcement source told CNN that the letter was “very similar” to a letter sent to Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) that tested positive for ricin on Tuesday. The Associated Press was also told that both letters were being treated in the same manner.

A Secret Service spokesperson confirmed to CNN that the letter addressed to Obama contained a “suspicious substance.” The letter was reportedly intercepted at an off-site mail facility and did not make it to the White House.

There were no indications that either letters were connected to the Monday bombings in Boston.
