Los Angeles (AP) -- Authorities Thursday were trying to determine who sent envelopes containing apparently harmless powder to Church of Scientology locations, prompting street closings and evacuations.

Envelopes containing the mysterious white powder were mailed to at least 19 church addresses in Los Angeles and Orange counties, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.

The letters began showing up Wednesday.

The Scientology office on Brand Blvd in Glendale was sent the powder mix. That is why all the fire trucks and police cruisers were blocking the street.

I remembered hearing that somewhere. I thought, at first, it was urban legend. After all, they're so nice when they show up at disaster sites offering 'assistance'.
