eyewitness report coming in over the phone now: local streets closed, evacuations from local stores.

Isn't western Atlantic Avenue (not far from Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge) heavily Lebanese? Both Christian and Muslim? Just asking.Pharmboy is right. Many Arabs have businesses along Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. Don't know if they're mostly Lebanese.
This is in close proximity to three bridges: Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges.
There was a terrorist murder on the Brooklyn Bridge a few years ago. A man named Rashid Boz, I believe a Palestinian living in Brooklyn, shot into a school van carrying Jewish students. One boy was killed and another seriously maimed. At first the perp was characterized as a 'lone nut,' but I believe the incident has recently been re-classified as a terrorist attack.

CNBC reporting that "all" bridges into Manhattan are shut down. Keep on seeing a view from a chopper of the onramp to the Williamsburg bridge.
Need a freeper on the scene!

Workers on the bridge were suspicious of 3 middle eastern men climbing the manhattan tower. The middle eastern men supposedly rapelled down the tower after the workers started questioning them.

Quit being so suspicious! They are probably just performance artists. :)That wouldn't surprise me.

Construction workers reported the guys scalling the bridge.
Guess the police were busy protecting citizens from the '60's commies? Go figure.

CNBC reporting that "all" bridges into Manhattan are shut down. Doesn't appear to be so. According to FNC, right now, Williamsburg is closed the others are being inspected.
