The investigation to locate and isolate all of the packages is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>No packages have exploded or caused any injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The packages contained homemade explosives, including glass bottles filled with black powder, fixed with a fuse and a GPS device, FBI agent Donald J.

Writings contained in the package were also similar to previous correspondence from Phan to various government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Phan had been known to police previously because of the writings, and due to frequent contact with the 9-1-1 emergency dispatch system. Phan was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the past three years, I am aware that Phan has sent hundreds of letters and\/or emails to various government agencies containing similar incoherent ramblings\u201d as those that showed up Monday, Metcalf wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Shipping of explosive materials is punishable by up to ten years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 43-year-old Everett, Washington resident made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court today charged by criminal complaint with shipping of explosive materials.
