FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Packets of a white powder sent to the home offices of Alaska's congressional delegation were found to be a substance used in making concrete, the FBI said.
Julie Hasquet, press secretary for U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, said the FBI determined the powder wasn't a threat and there was no criminal intent involved in the mailing, CNN reported Tuesday. U.S. Rep. Don Young said in a statement it was unclear why the material was sent, the Fairbanks News-Miner reported.
