The FBI is investigating more than two dozen letters with white powder that were mailed from a North Texas postmark to schools in the Washington, D.C., area.

NBCWashington is reporting that at least 29 suspicious letters were mailed to public schools in the D.C. area. All the letters contained white powder and the words "Al Aqeda-FBI" typed on a piece of paper.

Based on past experience, more letters will likely be discovered Friday and next week after mail over the weekend is delivered, said Special Agent Mark White, a Dallas FBI spokesman.

The D.C. Emergency Management Office said one school has shown the substance to be cornstarch, but it was not immediately known what powder was in the the other letters.

The Washington Regional Threat and Analysis Center said at 3:15 p.m. CT that four schools were cleared.
