Suspicious packages were sent to a number of US military and intelligence bases.
NBC reported on March 27 that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the origin of suspicious packages sent to a number of US military and intelligence bases.
The National Defense University, located on the grounds of Fort McNair military base in Washington, D.C., received a package around 8:30 a.m. on March 26 (local time), prompting an evacuation of the entire building. Inside the package were explosives, a tracking device, and a fuse.

On the same day, similar packages were sent to Anacostia-Bolling base in Washington, D.C., Fort Belvoir and Dahlgren bases in Virginia, as well as White House and CIA mail processing offices.
Some of the packages contained letters with vulgar language. None of them exploded and were subsequently handled safely. FBI agents are investigating whether these packages are related.
