Ann Mary Zheng

Ann Mary Zheng, 27, is facing federal charges in connection to an explosive device left outside MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. Her brother, Alen Zheng, 20, is also indicted in the case and reportedly fled to China. Ann Mary was arrested upon her return to the US. The charges stem from an incident on March 10th where an explosive device was discovered near the base's entrance. The device was allegedly intended to damage the welcome center. Their mother was also detained for deportation due to overstaying her visa. The case is significant due to the potential national security implications of an explosive device being placed near a major US military installation, which houses U.S. Central Command.
