No one injured; incident believed linked to fiery mail sent to Md. government buildings


WASHINGTON — A piece of mail addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano ignited Friday at a U.S. Postal Service facility in Washington, a day after suspicious letters "flared up" at state government buildings in neighboring Maryland, authorities said.

Police said no one was injured.

FBI spokeswoman Lindsay Godwin said initial information indicated the parcel that ignited in northeast Washington about 2:45 p.m. was similar to the two packages opened in Maryland on Thursday.

A postal worker at the D.C. facility tossed the package into a sorting bin, and when another package was tossed on top, it "flashed" and then quickly went out, an official told NBC News.

1. Well as I said in the earlier OP when this broke...

this is NOT Al Qaida...

This is very much internal.

I expect it to sink soon,

2. I never said or thought it was Al Qaida...

Some American nutbag on the loose.

3. Oh absolutely

I did not say you did. I did it wasn't because mostly lurkers might think otherwise. It is a knee jerk reaction... terror= furiergners, due to good media training.

I still remember at Dallas Airport as OKC broke... several in the crows said, DAMN *)^))* ARABS.

So I pointed out to them that it was most likely internal.

I was challenged on it, and I pointed out that any furieng terrarist had no business in OKC... if that was oh LA or NYC... I was proven right.

I expect a few going, like that day... blow them rag... *0&&((6 and you know this, and I know this.

Hell that day one person in the crowd even said Sadam too. It was a strange day.

4. Any word on which state these are coming from?

Isn't this the third one in two days?

5. It is the third one and they have not released

that info.

Understandably hubby was a tad worried, HE works at a USPS processing plant.
