FBI says agents at the North Carolina home of Petraeus lover; a search appears under way

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - FBI agents are at the North Carolina home of the woman whose affair with retired Gen. David Petraeus led to his resignation as CIA director.

A spokeswoman for the FBI says that agents went to Paula Broadwell's home in Charlotte on Monday night. FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch declined to say what the agents were doing there.

FBI agents appeared at Broadwell's home carrying the kinds of cardboard boxes often used for evidence gathering during a search. They walked through the open garage of Broadwell's house and knocked at a side door before entering the home. One person was taking photographs of the house and its garage as members of the news media watched.

Petraeus resigned his CIA post last week after acknowledging an extramarital affair.
