Possible hazardous material at Utah IRS office-FBI
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1 |
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1 (Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Monday it was investigating along with local authorities a possible "hazardous material threat" at an Internal Revenue Service building in Farr West, Utah.
Spokeswoman Debbie Dujanovic Bertram in a statement e-mailed to Reuters said the FBI had evacuated the building, adding she could not release additional details on the incident while it was under investigation.
The incident follows last month's small-plane crash by an apparently disgruntled man into a federal building in Austin, Texas, that housed offices of the IRS, the U.S. tax agency.
