The number of suspicious packages and letters reportedly sent to public officials across Kansas continued to rise, totaling more than 100 as of Sunday, federal authorities said.
Alarm over the mail, which contain a white powder, was initially raised Friday when the Kansas Bureau of Investigation announced more than 30 letters had been sent to Kansas lawmakers and other public officials. Kansas Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach was among the recipients.
The total more than doubled to about 70 letters on Saturday, authorities said. The KBI gave the latest figure in the triple digits Sunday afternoon.
