STAMFORD -- Police are investigating a suspicious package that was sent Monday to the military recruitment office on Bedford Street -- a month after a similar package was sent to the same location.

Police responded to the U.S. Army/U.S. Air Force recruiting station at 231 Bedford St. just after 11 a.m. after learning of an envelope bearing unusual writing and containing batteries and other bomb making materials inside, police spokesman Lt. Sean Cooney said.

The package was found sticking out of the building's mailbox. The writing on it was in a yet-to-be-identified language, Cooney added.

Last month, an envelope with similar writing and components was sent to the recruitment center, Cooney said. The scare shut the office down for about an hour while police determined there were no explosives inside the package.

My guess is it's a tetryon pulse launcher



The package must be labeled in Klingon, which is why they can't identify it.

It's not like the Army fired all the Arabic translators for being gay or something, so it can't possibly be in Arabic, or else they'd know it by now.
