WASHINGTON (AP) – A government official says a scientist has been detained in Miami after screeners found a metal canister in his luggage that looked like a pipe bomb. The official says the FBI and Miami Dade police are interviewing the 70-year-old man. No explosives have been found. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. Four of Miami International Airport’s six concourses along with an onsite hotel were evacuated Thursday evening. A bomb squad spent hours scouring the airport and passengers were evacuated from the complex Thursday night and airport roadways were closed down. Police and airport officials described the shutdown of the four concourses as a safety precaution. The airport fully reopened just after 4 a.m. Related Articles Marco Airport addition Cape Coral police officer injured in traffic crash Fla. nursing home evacuated after pipe bomb found Police remove illegal guns from Fort Myers streets

American missionaries freed from Haitian jail, arrive in Miami overnight By WINK News By Associated Press Story Created: Feb 18, 2010 at 5:05 AM EST Story Updated: Feb 18, 2010 at 5:05 AM EST MIAMI (AP) – Eight American missionaries charged in Haiti with child kidnapping have landed in Miami. A U.S. military official says a C-130 cargo plane carrying the Americans landed at Miami International Airport. After arriving, seven of the eight went to a hotel adjoining the airport. They were allowed to leave by Haitian judge Wednesday, nearly three weeks after they were jailed for trying to take a group of children out of the earthquake-stricken country. Hours after a judge decided to free 8 of the 10, the group – looking bedraggled and sweat-soaked – walked out of the Haitian jail escorted by US diplomats just after dusk. They waited until they were safely inside a white van before flashing smiles and giving a thumbs up to reporters. Previous article Cape Coral Intersection “Dangerous”.
