Siblings Charged in MacDill Air Force Base Bomb Threat

0:00It's March 26. This is Durham News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. A 20-year-old man and his 27-year-old sister now face federal charges linked to an explosive device left outside a gate at McDill Air. For space in Tampa, Alan Jung stands accused of trying to damage government property and making an unregistered destructive device while Ann Mary Jung faces counts of. Win is tampering and being an accessory after the fact. The suspicious package turned up on March 16, sparking an FBI probe. Alan fled to China right after, but his sister remains in custody following her arrest. McDill houses the U.S. Central Command, which runs military ops in the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of South Asia. The base has stayed on heightened alert since the war with Iran kicked off, making any threat there especially serious. Meanwhile, officials arrested another man earlier this week for threatening phone calls to the base just days after the device was found. So far, they see no connection between him and the Jung siblings.
