Ashwin Cattamanchi, a public defender representing Phan, declined to comment on the case when reached by phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eleven suspicious packages were received through the U.S. Postal Service at various government agencies and military installations in the Washington, D.C., area, including the U.S. Secret Service White House Mail Screen Facility, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, in Dahlgren, Virginia, and the mailing facility for FBI headquarters in Baltimore, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each package contained what appeared to be a homemade explosive device in a small glass bottle with an unknown black power with a fuse, the complaint says. It also contained a typewritten letter with \u201cramblings about neuropsychology, mind control, and other subjects including terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facilities were evacuated and shut down when the packages were discovered, causing considerable disruption to government operations, the complaint said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No packages exploded or caused injuries, the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office in Seattle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One package sent to the FBI\u2019s mailing facility was tested by FBI bomb technicians. They confirmed it tested positive for an ingredient found in a low explosive powder known as double base smokeless powder, which could be detonated or explode when confined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phan was arrested Monday at his home in Everett after a U.S. Postal Service inspector traced one of the packages to a Mill Creek self-service kiosk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities said surveillance photos appeared to show Phan at the kiosk and the postal inspector also determined that Phan paid for the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phan\u2019s detention hearing is set for Friday. His motive was not immediately clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had previous contacts with authorities. He had been known previously to law enforcement because he had hundreds of letters and emails to various government agencies containing \u201csimilar incoherent ramblings,\u201d the complaint alleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In late 2011, Phan was charged in Washington state court with unlawful passion of a firearm. Court records show he had a 1990 conviction for felony second-degree assault and was prohibited from having a weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snohomish County sheriff\u2019s deputies discovered he had a handgun in his backpack when they responded to a mental health call in May 2011 in the Everett area. According to a probable-cause affidavit, Phan \u201cmade bizarre statements to them which gave deputies concern about the defendant\u2019s mental health and safety.\u201d The deputies took him into protective custody for an involuntary mental health commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weapon charge was dismissed in 2015 after Phan completed an alternative diversion prosecution program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters Tuesday that all of the packages sent to Defense Department facilities are under the control of the federal authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBasically there\u2019s a set procedure, they went through the procedure,\u201d said Mattis. \u201cWe\u2019ve had nobody injured and all those packages and all the evidence is accessible and is the hands of the FBI right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writer Lolita C.
