Packages Containing Explosives Sent To Several Military Installations


According to open source media, on March 26, 2018 multiple suspicious packages containing explosive materials were sent to several military installations in Washington, D.C. and Virginia. 
DOD officials said packages were sent to the CIA, Fort Belvoir and Fort McNair. A Naval Support Facility in Dahlgren, Virginia, also received a suspicious package and at least one package was sent to the National Defense University at Fort McNair in Washington, DC.

Some of the packages included rambling letters that officials described as disturbing. The packages were all ultimately rendered safe. The FBI, BATF, and other Federal agencies are investigating.

In December 2017, I provided information here in the blog concerning
Bomb Threats & Explosive Recognition.
