Federal authorities are investigating letters containing "suspicious substances" that were mailed to congressional and election offices around the country, AP reported Thursday. The Senate Sergeant at Arms told senators in a message obtained by AP to treat such letters as "potentially hazardous."

The mailings arrive three weeks before the Nov. 3 midterm elections. No injuries were immediately reported, and investigators had not publicly named a suspect or said what the substances were.
