Suspicious package probed at emergency agency
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A leaking, smelly package in the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency mail room forced an evacuation of the headquarters building, a fire department official said on Monday.
Washington, D.C., fire department spokesman Alan Etter said an X-ray of the package showed a need for further investigation, and a hazardous materials team was taking air samples.
"Nobody is injured, nobody is sick," Etter said.
