WTOP reports (10/19) that around noon a man dropped a molotov cocktail from the top floor of Ballston Common Mall in Arlington.
The mall was immediately evacuated, and a suspect, described as a black male with curly hair was arrested a few hours later
near the Courthouse Metro station.
The FBI is reportedly involved with the case and their spokeswoman Jacqueline Maguire, said charges will likely be filed as soon as possible.
My take: Why is the FBI involved with this case? My guess would be that it is being investigated as an act of terrorism where Federal laws would apply. But is that really necessary? This doesn't seem like a terrorist act, at least not the big scary Al-Qaeda variety anyway.
