DEVELOPING: Authorities are methodically sweeping and clearing multiple cargo flights that were held at US airports in Newark, Philadelphia and central England after reports of suspicious packages originating in Yemen.

Law enforcement agencies were investigating whether packages found on UPS planes at Philadelphia International Airport, Newark Airport, East Midlands airport in central England and two UPS truck in Queens, N.Y., and and Brooklyn, N.Y. were part of a dry run mail bomb plot

Apparently, these packages have come from Dubai, and Yemen. I'm glued to the coverage. The packages contained printers, and black powder.

I had heard that some of the printer cartridges had white powder and at least one had wires attached.

The very last thing I heard about the powder is that it was black. Leads me to believe it's gun powder, but nothing is confirmed yet. Haven't heard anything about wires yet, but I'll stay tuned. FBI has put all Mosques, and religious places in Chicago on high alert to be wary of anything they get sent in the mail.
