Sen Roger Wicker (R, Mississippi) [possibly*] targeted with ricin attack. [UPDATED.]

At a guess, he won’t be the only one.

FBI Baltimore field office confirms: Letter to Sen. Wicker (R-MS) intercepted at Maryland mail facility & tested positive for ricin poison.

Dan McLaughlin’s point is well-made, of course:

Ricin thing obviously may just be coincidental to Marathon Bombings, like the anthrax attacks.

[UPDATE: *It has been noted to me that false positive results get thrown up by ricin tests quite often.]

am I on the only one who remembers a Ricin Scare in NH or Maine that turned out to be a false positive due to castor beans?
