Threats sent to McCain offices in Centennial and N.H. White powder found in Centennial office

DENVER (AP) — Authorities said a threatening letter containing an unidentified white powder was sent to a John McCain campaign office in Centennial, and a similar letter was sent to a McCain office in Manchester, New Hampshire.[align=right]

A hazardous materials team was trying to determine if the powder found in Centennial was harmful.
It wasn't immediately known if the New Hampshire letter also contained a powder, said Jeff Sadosky, a spokesman with McCain's national campaign office in Arlington, Virginia.
Andy Lyon of Parker South Metro Fire Rescue Authority said a worker at the Colorado office discovered the power after opening the letter Thursday afternoon.
Lyon said no injuries have been reported.
Seven people drove themselves to Sky Ridge Medical Center, but none showed any symptoms of exposure to a toxic substance, hospital spokeswoman Linda Watson said.
Postal Inspector Jo Jan Henderson said agents from her office are the scene.
The threat came four days before the Democratic National Convention opens at the Pepsi Center.
