(CelebNMusic247-News) Obama Letter Tests Positive For Ricin

A letter sent to the White House addressed to President Obama has tested Positive For Ricin

They’re saying that the letter addressed to President Obama containing a substance that preliminary tests indicate was the deadly poison ricin is unrelated to the Boston bombing.

However, we question the reports, because a suspicious letter potentially laced with a poison, ricin, and postmarked from Memphis, was also sent to the office of Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.

According to sources, who have confirmed the letter was sent to Wicker, R-Miss., but did not arrive at his office on Capitol Hill. It was stopped at a mail processing facility, where, officials said, a preliminary test for ricin came back positive, according to ABC News.

Here is the drop:

Now another letter has been discovered which was addressed to President Obama containing a substance that preliminary tests indicate was the deadly poison ricin has been intercepted at a remote mail facility, the FBI confirmed Wednesday.

Just a few miles away from the White House, suspicious packages delivered to two Senate office buildings brought bomb experts to the scene and forced police to tell staffers to remain in their offices. The packages were removed and after about an hour police gave the “all-clear.”

The incidents follow Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon and the discovery of another possibly poisoned letter — addressed to Republican Sen. Roger Wicker of Miss. — on Tuesday.

The FBI says there is no indication that the letters or packages are connected to the Boston bombings.

What Is Ricin?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says “ricin is a poison found naturally in castor beans. … If castor beans are chewed and swallowed, the released ricin can cause injury. Ricin can be made from the waste material left over from processing castor beans.”

The Washington Post reported in 2004 that ricin is “twice as deadly as cobra venom.”
