A PENTAGON security patrol came across a suspicious vehicle in the building parking lot, a Department of Defence official said overnight. "During a regular Pentagon parking lot patrol a car was found to have suspicious characteristics in south parking (lot)," said DOD spokesperson Eileen Lainez. "We are taking the appropriate precautionary measures and the investigation is continuing," she added, giving no further details. The vehicle was found as the United States is set to mark the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. On that day one of four hijacked passenger airplanes slammed into the Pentagon.

Details are still sketchy here...anyone found anything more substantive yet? 1 arrest, Pentagon employee, but any idea what might've been in the package? I'm having visions of Se7en right now: "What's in the box?!? What's in the box?!?"

A child left her "suspicious" teddy bear in the back seat, and the government goes nuts.

If it were her car, I hope the guys who searched it wore HAZMAT suits!

I wondered where my wife parked her wheels.

The article tells us nothing about what the package was, only that it was removed by the EOD types.

The Pentagon should have been on alert constantly after 9-11.

Where I worked there wasn't a year went by that we didn't have some sort of problem like this. Once it was a bomb in the trunk of a car of a woman whose husband/boyfriend/babydaddy or wanted to kill her ~ guess he thought he could just blow up the building to get at her.

Since 9/11 these things have been treated very seriously in the DC area, but they are not new.

Hmmm.... The WMAL story is gone.
