Oh boy.

Authorities in NY, Philadelphia, NJ and several countries are involved in trying to stop an ongoing bomb plot targeting the US -ABC

CNN is now reporting than an ink cartridge converted into a bomb has been found aboard a UPS flight from Yemen to Chicago.

Federal authorities are now investigating two UPS planes currently grounded in Newark and Philadelphia. Apparently they were concerned with potential suspicious packages aboard.

Update: Authorities are now investigating a suspicious package found outside a federal courthouse in Portland, Maine.

Update X2: Reports that a UPS delivery truck has also been quarantined in Queens, New York.

Update X3: ABC News’ Terry Moran:

ABC News reports: Potential IEDs shipped from Yemen through Birmingham, England. At least 15 devices believed to have been constructed.

If true, wow.

Update X4: At the very least this sounds intentional. Authorities in the UK are saying the ink cartridge was manipulated. Wires were attached and white powder was inside, apparently.

Update X5: FOX is reporting that radiological material has been found on the suspicious package in Philadelphia. FOX is walking that report back now.
