DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- An official UAE security source says a suspicious device discovered in an air cargo shipment in Dubai that was headed for the U.S. contained explosive materials.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said the "explosive device" was found Friday in a courier company's regional hub and originated in a shipment from Yemen.

I’m skeptical of the timing of this ‘threat’. Obama’s serious on Jon Stewart’s comedy show earlier this week, his 3AM phone call comes in alas on the Friday before mid-terms, he’s holding a press conference perfectly timed for the evening news the Friday before mid-terms; and yet the stock market is flat or up a tick the Friday before mid-terms.

Obama is sending a pre-election message to the Jewish voters. The packages were addressed to synagogues.

If Obama knew about these threats last night at 10:35 EST, why were these planes even allowed to enter our airspace today??

I just heard on the news that one of the devices found was a toner cartridge with wires attached.

Can’t help but wonder if Boxer will blame Carly Fiorina for this device, given her previous affiliation with HP???

Why would a global wide terror network need to ship explosives?

Everyone always rallies around the President when under attack. It does not matter WHO is in office. This is bogus... The Department of Homeland security is not competent due to all the political correctness crap.

Because they absolutely, positively had to probe our detection capabilities over night.

You'd laugh if I told you.

But since I love to make people laugh:

Halfpasthuman.com's Web bots, Timewave Zero, and my own home brew.

Triple play for that date range.

Hopefully you can laugh even harder at me on the 16th because nothing will have happened.
