The Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating a statewide anthrax scare in Alabama. Several local lawmakers appear to be among the targets.
Eight letters with white powder were sent to five locations:
- Congressman Mike Rogers office at the federal courthouse in Anniston
- Senator Richard Shelby,s office at a federal building in Birmingham
- Roger's, Shelby's and Senator Jeff Sessions's offices at the state capitol building in Montgomery.
- Congressman Jo Bonner's offices in Mobile and Foley
The 15th floor of the RSA Tower in downtown Mobile, where one of Bonner's offices is located, was evacuated as a precaution. So was Bonner's office in Foley. It's located in a shopping center on McKenzie Street. More than a dozen businesses in that shopping center, including the News 5 bureau, were also evacuated.
