San Jose, CA - PayPal Building Targeted In Explosion

San Jose, CA - An explosion shattered windows at an eBay building housing offices for the company's PayPal division, forcing the evacuation of dozens of employees.

PayPal spokeswoman Amanda Pires said that the company had not received any threats but declined to comment on the investigation. The blast hit the first floor of the company's network operations center. "We believe this is an isolated incident," she said. "We're working closely with local authorities. We have everything under control."

Business was not disrupted, but the complex is closed and cordoned off by police tape.
About 1,900 eBay and PayPal employees who work in buildings on the campus where the explosion occurred were asked to work from home or at another eBay campus in San Jose, Pires said.

No injuries were reported and no explosive device was found, but investigators determined the blast was deliberately set, Sgt. Nick Muyo said. Police had no suspects. Investigators from the San Jose police and fire departments, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were investigating.
