US Air Marshal Assaulted With Syringe In Lagos Airport

A U.S. air marshal was assaulted with a syringe containing an "unknown substance" at the Lagos, Nigeria, airport on Sunday. The air marshal flew back to the United States after the attack and out of an abundance of caution, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted an on-scene screening of the victim when United Flight 143 landed in Houston early Monday morning.

The victim did not exhibit any signs of illness during the flight and was transported to a hospital upon landing for further testing. Investigators are looking at whether the air marshal, who did not exchange words with the attacker before the incident, was targeted because he's American. Haba! Which Way Nigeria?
