Chase Bank Targeted With More Than 30 Letter Threats
Chase Bank has been targeted with threatening letters sent to more than 30 bank offices in 9 U.S. states.
Many of the letters contained an “unidentified powder” but, to date, all “field tests” on the substance have tested negative for “harmful substances”.
At least 30 Chase bank offices in nine U.S. states have been targeted by threatening letters, many of them containing an unidentified powder, an FBI spokesman said on Tuesday.
At least five Chase branches in Colorado and Oklahoma received the letters on Monday and some contained a white powder, Chase had said.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has opened up a 10-point lead over Republican opponent John McCain two weeks before the November 4 U.S. election, according to Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released on Tuesday.
