Arrest Made In Connection With Threat To Baltimore Tunnels

Authorities have arrested a man they say may be connected to a threat that prompted the temporary shutdown of the Harbor Tunnel and restrictions on the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore.

The suspect was one of four people arrested on immigration charges after several raids were conducted at businesses with Middle Eastern connections.

A federal law enforcement official, who didn’t want to be identified, said the threat was called in by someone who claimed to have information from abroad. The caller said vehicles loaded with explosives would be driven into the tunnel.

A second FBI agent said the information in the threat was “somewhat specific,” but he said the information was not corroborated.
