By Dan Levine and Sarah McBride SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Monday charged a 39-year-old man with arson in connection with a fire at the Chinese consulate in San Francisco on New Year's day, after deciding not to treat the incident as an act of terrorism. Yan Feng turned himself into local police on Friday, two days after the Chinese consulate in San Francisco sustained fire and smoke damage, FBI special agent David Johnson said at a news conference on Monday. After surrendering to law enforcement, Feng told investigators that he targeted the consulate "because all the voices he had been hearing were in Chinese and the Chinese Consulate had to have been involved," according to an FBI affidavit filed in court. In a statement on Monday, the Chinese consulate in San Francisco said it will closely follow Feng's case.
