DescriptionA pipe bomb was delivered to a Chicago skyscraper a day after a similar device arrived at a Kansas City business, and federal agents were investigating possible connections.

Both devices were defused without incident.

The FBI said a threatening note accompanied the explosive device that arrived Wednesday at American Century Investments' midtown Kansas City mail facility, a few blocks from the company's national headquarters.

A similar explosive was found Thursday at a business in a downtown Chicago office tower, said Wanda Shipp, a Postal Inspection Service spokeswoman.

That package also contained a note, though it was not threatening, Shipp said.

Authorities did not name the Chicago business.

Investigators were searching for links between the two bombs, said Dan Taylor, a regional spokesman for postal inspectors in St. Louis.
