Source: ABC News
A Washington state man has been taken into custody after suspicious packages were found at military bases and CIA headquarters in the Washington, D.C. area, according to the FBI, and officials said it's possible other packages were mailed to additional mail processing facilities in or near the nation's capital.
Thanh Cong Phan, 43, was arrested at his residence in Everett, Wash., Monday by the FBI Seattle's office and the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office. Phan is scheduled to make an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon in the Western District of Washington, the FBI said.
An investigation determined Phan appeared to have sent the packages, which contained potential destructive devices, from the Seattle area to mail processing facilities at military bases and CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., the FBI said.
Each package was collected for further analysis at the FBI lab at Quantico, Va., and at least one contained explosive material, the agency said.
