Suspect Arrested In Obama ‘Ricin’ Letter Case




A 45-year-old man has been arrested in connection with letters containing suspected ricin sent to US President Barack Obama and a US senator.
The alleged sender, Paul Kevin Curtis, is a resident of Mississippi.
Initial tests on the letters, identified at remote facilities, showed the presence of the lethal toxin.
The FBI has said there is “no indication of a connection” between the letters and Monday’s deadly attack in Boston.
The letters addressed to the president and Republican Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker were both postmarked Memphis, Tennessee, and dated 8 April.
The letters read: “To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance,” according to US media citing intelligence sources.
They were reportedly signed: “I am KC and I approve this message.”
According to the FBI, Mr Curtis also allegedly sent a third letter positively identified for ricin to a Mississippi justice official.
