Federal officials said shortly after the fire that it was not being investigated as an act of terrorism. Consulate workers say surveillance cameras showed a person exiting a van with two buckets of gasoline, pouring it on the building before igniting the blaze. The FBI said earlier that no bomb-making materials were found. AP
