U.S. Air Marshal In Texas Hospital After Syringe Attack In Nigeria

A U.S. Air Marshal has been undergoing tests in a hospital in Houston
after being assaulted in Lagos, Nigeria with a syringe containing an
unknown substance, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Monday.

The marshal was attacked on Sunday at the airport in Lagos and given
an on-scene screening by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention before boarding a United Airlines flight to Houston that
landed on Monday, it said.

"The victim did not exhibit any signs of illness during the flight and
was transported to a hospital upon landing for further testing.

"None of the testing conducted has indicated a danger to other
passengers," it said, without providing further information.
