Molotov cocktail thrown into US Citizenship and Immigration office

A woman threw a lit Molotov cocktail into the lobby of a US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in Oakland Park, Florida, on Friday. No one was injured, according to a report sent to Trump administration officials and seen by the Associated Press.

The woman walked into the office on Friday afternoon and threw a bottle filled with gasoline. A lit fuse disconnected from the bottle and the device did not ignite, according to the report.Law enforcement officials believe the woman intended to cause harm but the incident was not related to other recent instances in which homeland security agencies were targeted.Earlier this month in San Antonio, Texas, at least one vehicle pulled up to a building that houses offices for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or Ice, and a gunman fired shots through a window, FBI officials said. No one was injured. Another building used by Ice was also fired on. Read more at: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/31/molotov-cocktail-uscis-us-citizenship-immigration-services-office
