The suspect, Marc Keyser, a resident of Sacramento, California's capital, has been charged with sending the packages to media outlets in that city, 150 kilometers (95 miles) west of San Francisco, and to others in the states of Washington and North Carolina, an FBI spokesman told AFP by telephone Wednesday. Keyser also sent the packages to offices of elected officials in the US Congress, and to two restaurants in the Sacramento area. The white powder was found to be harmless, said the FBI, but recipients of the packages were told to not touch the substance and report the instance as quickly as possible. The packages were sent along with a compact disc titled "Anthrax: Shock & Awe Terror," and decorated with the image of former secretary of state Colin Powell. According to the local newspaper the Sacramento Bee, Keyser has been known for having trouble with the police, and for at times incoherent behavior. Keyser served time in prison for sending feces through the mail, according to the newspaper. Keyser's arrest comes two days after the New York offices of the Reuters news agency were evacuated for three hours after the delivery there of an envelope containing what later proved to be a harmless powder. Police ordered the evacuation as a precaution after the company's managing editor for the Americas noticed a "puff of powder" from an envelope. In recent weeks similar incidents were reported at The New York Times building, also in midtown Manhattan, and at branches of Chase bank. In 2001, in the weeks following the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington, five people died and 17 others were infected after letters containing anthrax powder were mailed to news media offices and two US Senators.
