Portions of I-95 briefly shut down on concerns over suspected terrorist plot; Uncorroborated information said to come from source abroad

Federal authorities are detaining at least one man of Egyptian origin who worked at a Middle Eastern market in Baltimore in connection with a threat that closed Interstate 95 and the Harbor and Fort McHenry tunnels after concern over a suspected terrorist plot to blow up one of the tunnels.

The shutdown caused gridlock throughout the metropolitan region as police and federal agents investigated the threat.

"It must have been the 85 year old grandmother with Alzheimers at the local nursing home, the one who got frisked and wanded at the airport several weeks ago while Ahmed boarded the plane without any questions."

HA! How true. Many years ago when I was traveling with my mom, Caucasian and American, who was 85 or 86 at the time, they had security checks at the gates for "selected" individuals AFTER you were checked at the usual security belt sites. At the gate area she was frisked and made to remove her shoes, plus all her carry-on luggage was inspected. I asked the dark-skinned guy with an accent, who was performing the check, where he was from. He said, "Pakistan."

UPDATE: They've arrested 4 and detained as many as 30 Egyptians from the Baltimore area in connection with this investigation. They are operating out of middle eastern businesses.

I was sure it was a Catholic nun or a Mormon.

WHAT IS TRULY AMAZING IS THE WAY THE DAMNED NORWEGIANS CLEVERLY MANAGED TO MAKE THIS EVIL DEED APPEAR THE WORK OF OTHER, TOTALLY INNOCENT ETHNIC GROUPS, SUCH AS US MUSLIMS, CATHOLIC NUNS, AND OUR MORMON BROTHERS, WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO GET ALONG.

Furthermore, if this vicious viking-spawn wants to munch lutefisk and march around town on St. Olaf's Day, let'em stay in Norway, where they belong, instead of sneaking into the US in the dead of night to blow up tunnels and blame it on others. Furthermore, if the Swedes don't cooperate by keeping an eye on these hambo-dancers, no Volvo should be permitted on our the holy roads of our sacred homeland!

"A good Irish Catholic name, if I ever heard one."

He may have got away with the NO levee, but at least they put an end to his reign of terror before he was able to take out the Baltimore Tunnel.

No terrorist threat here! As John Kerry would have it, "What a nuisance!"

If the tunnel is underwater, all the people would die, as the tunnel would flood...
if they want to strike fear into the average American, something almost every american does is drives. There is no possible way to inspect every car etc.

I hear Chardon,Oh. has a real problem with theehadists. :)

God Bless the Amish. If the environazis really wanted to walk the walk they would live like Amish.

Naw, but they won't because that would mean they would have to actually work to survive.

Have they lawyered-up with the requisite lefty lawyers yet? I'll be quite disappointed if the day ends without a news conference of pony-tailed and bearded anglo lawyers telling me how their clients are peaceful family-men and we're all a bunch of racists for thinking otherwise.

Excellent point, message!

If the environmental wackos want to be consistent, they should move to Holmes County and take up the plow. :)

"Terrorists Among Us", an important film. Woke me up big time back in 1996. I wish more people could see this film. It should be shown on TV at least once a week.
