Austin : A single-engined private plane Thursday crashed into a seven-storey building near an office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in this US city. A Department of Homeland Security official, however, ruled out “criminal or terrorist activity at this time”.
Smoke could be seen billowing from the building, which houses offices of the federal tax agency, the BBC reported.
Most employees have been evacuated but one person is unaccounted for, a spokesman for the Austin fire department said.
The Department of Homeland Security spokesman said there was “no reason to believe there is a nexus of criminal or terrorist activity at this time”.
The building is next door to FBI field offices, but the bureau said there was no indication the crash was deliberate.
