Two Jordanian-born women face terrorism charges in white powder incident at police station. The Associated Press Friday, January 5, 2007 <http://ad.fr.doubleclick.net/jump/americas.iht.com;cat=index;sz=336x280;ord =123456789?> BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut Two Jordanian-born sisters face terrorism charges after a white powder believed to be salt fell out of one of their pockets at police headquarters, triggering a hazardous materials scare. Cari Altayeb, of Fairfield, Connecticut, and her sister Anaahn Altayeb, who lives in Jordan, were arrested Thursday and charged with "acts of terrorism" in connection with the incident. The women were being held in lieu of $1 million bond each. Their lawyer, Robert Berke, accused police of overreacting. "The (terrorism) charge is extreme. The bond is extreme," Berke said Thursday night before he had a chance to talk to his clients. The sisters also face charges of first-degree breach of peace and threatening workers at the Bridgeport offices of the state Department of Children and Families over a child custody dispute. In August, DCF workers removed Cari Altayeb's children from her Fairfield home after a domestic violence incident in which her husband had allegedly threatened to pour gasoline on her and set her on fire, police said. Police said the husband and the two sisters had been harassing DCF workers in Bridgeport for the last couple of days. On Thursday, police said the two women were acting suspiciously and dropped white powder, possibly salt, outside the DCF office. After they were arrested and brought to Bridgeport police headquarters, some of the powder fell from one of the women's pockets, police Lt. James Viadero said. Police called the Fire Department. The Fairfield County Hazardous Materials Team, the FBI, state police and the city's emergency management director also responded. The police station and surrounding streets were closed most of the afternoon and into the evening. No injuries were reported, but 14 people, including civilian detention officers, police officers and six prisoners, had to take showers in the Fire Department's decontamination trailer. Their clothing was also bagged. "We don't take anything lightly," Viadero said. The powder was sent to a state lab for testing, police said. The results were not immediately available.
