A Capitol office building was evacuated tonight on a hazardous substance alert after police discovered a suspicious powder in its attic, authorities said.
The Homeland Security Department was investigating the alarm, but a senior counterterror official said it did not immediately appear to be an emergency.
Hazardous material teams were headed to the building. The substance has yet been tested, Capitol Police said.
