Washington Post : Over the weekend, an explosion at NIST in Gaithersburg, Maryland, injured a security officer. Local firefighters and police responded, and the injured officer was treated and released from the hospital. On Tuesday, Captain Paul Starks, a local police spokesperson, indicated the chemicals from the explosion were consistent with those used for manufacturing methamphetamine. However, Starks did not indicate whether any equipment used in meth labs was found or whether NIST normally stores the chemicals used on site.
