The
motive for the attack was not immediately clear and the FBI was
investigating.
Firefighters responded at about 6 p.m. local time to the post
office in East Chicago, about 25 miles (40 km) southeast of
Chicago, where a female postal worker was hurt, the Chicago
Tribune reported, citing East Chicago Fire Chief Anthony Serna.
The worker, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital
where she was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries,
the Tribune reported.
Two employees were inside the post office at the time of the
explosion and another was outside, the newspaper reported.
Firefighters did not enter, but set up a perimeter around the
building, Serna told the newspaper.
