Package Ignites at Post Office
The Washington Post reports:
At least one and possibly two packages or envelopes "ignited" Friday afternoon in a U.S. postal facility in the District near the Maryland border, D.C. police said.
The incendiary package was addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, according to a postal inspection source, reporter Ed O'Keefe tells us.
The facility, 3300 V St. NE, is a processing facility only – meaning customers cannot enter the location to send/receive mail.
According to a senior postal inspector, the device found at the Northeast Washington post office contained a device similar to the two found Thursday in Maryland.
There are no immediate details on the incident or how many people were in the facility at the time. The facility has been evacuated, according to an inspection service spokesman.
