BALTIMORE, Maryland (AP) -- One of two tunnels carrying traffic under Baltimore's harbor was closed Tuesday and another was partially shut down in response to what an official said was a security threat.

The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel was closed while the Fort McHenry Tunnel was partially closed, with one lane of traffic moving in each direction, said Lt. Col. David Franklin of the Maryland Transportation Authority Police.

Baltimore is a major port city, and Interstate-95 is a major national highway artery, with many tunnels and bridges. Both have a great deal of economic importance to America.

The closures were in response to a threat, a federal law enforcement official said. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, did not provide further information about the nature of the threat.

But another federal law enforcement official said the threat was phoned in to authorities by a person claiming to have information from abroad. Authorities are skeptical of the claim, but are checking it out nonetheless out of an abundance of caution, the official said. That source also spoke on condition of anonymity.


Since then, an unreleased number of suspects have been arrested for "questioning."

Has any similar thing happened near you, especially if you live near a larger city?

I live on the St Clair River which and on the otherside is Canada, so we've had some border patrol respond to issues and things like that before, but nothing to do with terrorisim.

I live about 10 minutes away from a water treatment plant that's being built, and they have security when the people are doing the construction. I live in Arizona too :P

Actually there was a bomb threat at my school at the exact same time as that happened. I don't think it turned out to be anything serious, though.

We usually get two bomb threats a year at my school. Nothing ever happens though (stupid kids writing stuff in the bathrooms, etc.), and nothing bigger than that has happened as far as my knowledge goes. I live in a relatively small town.
