Earlier a plane which had landed in London from Yemen had a device on it which alarmed authorities. When reports of a suspicious package came into authorities this morning in Philadelphia, they began searching cargo planes in the US to make sure that the IED found on the Yemen to London plane was not part of a widespread terrorist plan. The device found in London was on a plane which was headed to Chicago on it’s next stop.
Officials with UPS have stated, “we are cooperating fully with authorities in Philadelphia. The aircraft has been isolated; the shipment in question is being removed. The aircraft involved is a two-crew member plane. The crew has been safely evacuated.”
Reports have also indicated that a UPS truck has also been stops and the bomb squad is on scene. This is a breaking story, and we will update it as more news comes in.
