Scientology sites sent mystery powder January 31, 2008,
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Hazmat teams were asked to study a mysterious white powder mailed to 10 Church of Scientology locations in California.
Scientology facilities were evacuated and temporarily closed Wednesday and Brand Boulevard in Glendale, Calif., was closed for two hours after a Scientology church there received one of the suspicious mailings, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"Initial field testing by LAPD indicates the powder is harmless. However, further testing will be conducted. We will also work to assess what threat, if any, was associated with the mailings and determine whether any federal statutes were violated," FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.
