Packages Bound for U.S. Contained Explosives, Obama Says

Two packages containing explosive devices originating in
Yemen and addressed to two places of Jewish worship in
Chicago were intercepted in Dubai and Britain, setting off a
global terror alert, President Obama said at the White House
on Friday.



The president called the packages a "credible threat,"
prompting searches of cargo planes landing at Philadelphia
and Newark and a delivery truck in Brooklyn, and a military
escort for an inbound passenger flight. No explosive packages
were found to have reached the United States.
