A letter addressed to US President Barack Obama that appeared to contain ricin, a lethal toxin, has been intercepted, and a suspect has been arrested. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Wednesday, April 17, the letter was intercepted at a mail screening facility inside the White House the day before. It was the same day that a letter sent to Sen Roger Wicker showed traces of ricin.

In a statement, the FBI also said initial investigations showed there was “no indication of a connection” to the Boston Marathon bombings.
