The poisoned letters found last week came as America
was already on edge after a deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon. The
Federal Bureau of Investigation has said there is no indication the two
cases are linked.
“We’ve had another incident today, I’m told, at Bolling Air Force Base,
the same substance,” Senator Harry Reid told reporters.
The letter was discovered during routine screening of incoming mail, said the
Defence Intelligence Agency, which is headquartered at Bolling.
Initial tests “indicate possible biological toxins,” the agency said
in a statement that did not name the toxin.
“Prudent screening methods and force protection measures were implemented
to prevent personnel from being harmed,” the agency said, adding that
it has “maintained normal operations.”
Mr Curtis, 45, was arrested by the FBI at his home in Corinth, Mississippi
last week and charged with threatening the life of the president.
His lawyer insisted that they found the wrong man, noting that the FBI could
find “nothing” in Mr Curtis’s home or on his computer to link him
to the letters.
“We have maintained from the beginning … that Kevin Curtis is
absolutely 100 per cent innocent,” Christi McCoy told CNN.
The letters were addressed to Obama, Republican Senator Roger Wicker of
Mississippi and a justice of the peace in the same US state, Sadie Holland.
The three notes all referred to “missing Pieces” and were signed “KC,”
which matched other letters sent to government officials that investigators
suspect all trace back to Mr Curtis, according to court documents.
