CNN: Suspicious devices may have been bound for Chicago synagogues

A suspicious package containing a toner cartridge with wires and powder was found during routine screening of cargo in the United Kingdom, prompting authorities to scour vehicles in the United States on Friday. Planes in Philadelphia and Newark, N.J., were being swept, as was a truck in New York City.

Officials were investigating whether the suspicious packages were a dry run for a mail bomb plot.

CNN reported that sources believe the devices that came from Yemen were intended for Chicago synagogues. Frances Fragos Townsend, former Homeland Security adviser in the Bush administration, said American intelligence had been informed within the last 24 hours about devices on flights from the Middle East intended for synagogues in Chicago.
