NEW BOSTON, Texas — A law enforcement official says a Texas home has been searched and a resident interviewed as part of the investigation into ricin-tainted letters sent to New York City's mayor and President Barack Obama.
Authorities blocked off the one-story brick house in New Boston for hours Friday and set up tents in the yard while searching for evidence.
FBI agents entered the home wearing white hazardous materials suits and ventilation masks. New Boston is located in northeastern Texas near the Oklahoma and Arkansas borders.
A law enforcement official spoke to The Associated Press on Saturday on condition of anonymity because the official wasn't authorized to disclose information about the probe.
An FBI spokesperson in Dallas wouldn't comment on the search.
No suspects have been named.
