 BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- A Boca Raton company at the center of a deadly 2001 anthrax attack was evacuated again after a letter containing white powder arrived at its office.

 Tabloid publisher American Media Inc. evacuated for about 45 minutes Friday until police determined the powder was harmless.
 
 AMI publishes the National Enquirer, Star magazine and numerous other titles. A photo editor at the company died after inhaling anthrax more than seven years ago.
