Siblings Charged in MacDill Air Force Base Bomb Threat

0:00A suspicious package containing an explosive device turned up outside a gate at McDill Air Force Base in Tampa on March 16. Federal charges hit two siblings this week, 20-year-old Alan Jung, and his 27-year-old sister Ann Mary Jung. Alan faces counts of trying to damage government property, making a destructive device and possessing an unregistered one tied to that package. Alan bolted to China after the incident, while Ann is already in custody. He accused of witness tampering and helping her brother as an accessory after the fact. Officials unsealed the indictments on Wednesday, and no lawyers are listed for either yet. McDill houses the U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations across the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of South Asia. The base has stayed on high alert since tensions spiked with the war in Iran. Earlier this week, another man got arrested for making threatening calls to the base just days after the device was found. The investigators say there's no link between him and the Jung so far.
