ABC News is now reporting that an arrest has been made in the discovery of package bombs at bases in the D.C. area. The arrest was made in the Seattle, Washington, area.

(WASHINGTON) — The FBI is investigating several suspicious packages found at military installations and government facilities around the Washington, D.C., area, the agency confirmed Monday.

The FBI says each package was collected for further analysis, but it was not clear as of Monday evening whether they contained any active explosive devices or anything else potentially harmful.

Officials at Fort Belvoir in suburban Virginia confirmed to ABC News Monday evening that a suspicious package was found there Monday afternoon, but is now contained and rendered safe.

Michael Howard, an Army spokesman, confirmed reports that one of the suspicious packages was sent to National Defense University at Fort McNair.

That package contained explosive material, testing positive for black powder and residue. An X-ray indicated a suspected GPS and an expedient fuse attached. The package was eventually rendered safe and no injuries were reported.

Taped to a car parked outside the home and on Phan’s Facebook page are statements that reference phrases such as “terrorism” and “terro sympathetic.”  The Facebook page also describes Phan as a “machinist.”

Did the FBI find the name on their secret list of informants?

Dang, thought we got most of the VC back in 1968, obviously may have missed a few. Maybe we can resurrect a RVN patriot like Nguyen Ngoc Loan and reconstruct his Feb 68 dealing with VC terrorists. /S/S/S

“Only because he’s dead.”

Yup. He’d probably use that as his alibi, too.
