Bomb Scare at Local Obama Campaign Office

PALMS -- A suspicious envelope caused the evacuation of the Palms campaign office for Senator Barack Obama.

The LAPD bomb squad and haz-mat teams were called to the office on Motor Avenue Thursday night after a report about a suspicious envelope found inside.

As a precaution officers evacuated the building. But, officers determined the contents of the envelope was not an explosive device. Authorities, however, are declining to say exactly what was inside.

The envelope has now been turned over to investigators for further examination.
