Fox 5 news saying they REPELLED off the bridge when confronted.

OK, Fox 5 repeated first reports said the men, of "middle eastern descent," "rapelled down the side of the structure."

This is not yet confirmed.

Still saying the men are now in custody.

the source for the "middle eastern" report is from the mayor's office, sounds solid.

Fox 5 reporter says "all traffic now stopped in both directions on Manhattan Bridge." Brooklyn Bridge "not yet affected."

He also now says suspects were seen climbing one of the bridge's towers. Is backtracking on the "suspicious packages" report: says not able to confirm any packages were left.

Repeating report of suspects "rapelling" down side of bridge. Still unconfirmed.

Quit being so suspicious! They are probably just performance artists. :)

The solution to New York bridge climbers is quite simple. What Homeland Security needs to do is pre-position some Kentucky or Tennessee squirrel hunters around the bridges. That way, the ragheads can be shot off them at minimum expense. Unless someone has a better idea, I think that one will do just fine.
