UPDATE: Traffic is now being allowed through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel after it was closed down in both directions over concerns about a possible terrorist attack.
Orignal Post:
The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and part of the adjacent Fort McHenry Tunnel have been closed due to an unspecified terror threat. A tip, which may have originally come from a foreign country, was given to authorities warning of a possible terror related threat on the tunnels.
At this time there are massive traffic jams on the outskirts of the city. Confidential sources in the area have indicated that anti-terror squads are on the lookout for possible IEDs, and six to 10 men of middle-eastern descent, who are possibly driving fuel tankers in the area. There are further reports that these same men have been under surveillence for at least two days.
PowerBlog! will track this developing situation. The Baltimore Harbor Tunnel is 100 feet below sea level.
