Arrest over suspicious packages sent to US military bases, CIA
by Staff Writers
Washington (AFP) March 27, 2018

A 43-year-old man has been arrested after around a dozen packages containing potentially explosive material were posted to military and intelligence facilities around the US capital, the FBI said Tuesday.

Thanh Cong Phan, who lives near the northwestern city of Seattle, was taken into custody after the FBI "determined that the packages contained potential destructive devices and appeared to be sent by the same individual," an FBI statement said.

The agency said that multiple packages had been received at facilities on Monday in and around Washington, including the Central Intelligence Agency's headquarters at Langley and the Fort Belvoir and Fort McNair military bases.

The suspect was due to appear in federal court in Washington state later Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis confirmed that no one had been injured by any of the material in the packages, which were intercepted by the FBI.

However, the FBI warned that more packages could have been sent and were still awaiting processing, urging caution.

Orlando FL (SPX) Mar 27, 2018
The Department of Homeland Security could benefit from a reliable, real-time instrument that could scan the atmosphere for toxic agents in order to alert communities to a biological or chemical attack. UCF optics and photonics Professor Konstantin Vodopyanov is developing just such a technology to accomplish that. He has found a new way to use infrared lasers to detect even trace amounts of chemicals in the air. Every chemical is made up of individual molecules that vibrate at their own unique fre ... read more
