Summary All personnel were ordered to leave the headquarters of the public prosecutors' office.
DUBAI (AP) - Dubai authorities say they have evacuated a government building after an Uzbek woman claiming to have explosives demanded to see officials to discuss a paternity dispute.
A statement from Dubai s Media Office says negotiators are in contact with the woman in the ongoing standoff in the building s lobby. It is unclear whether the woman accompanied by a child actually has an explosive device.
All personnel were ordered to leave the headquarters of the public prosecutors office.
The statement issued Sunday described the woman s complaint as linked to her efforts to prove a man was the father of her child.
Attacks with weapons occur in domestic disputes in the United Arab Emirates, but incidents involving explosives are rare.
