Chicago synagogues may have been target of Yemeni cargo: report

Law enforcement officials are investigating reports of suspicious packages on cargo planes in Philadelphia and Newark, N.J., as well as an overnight stop of a plane in London with suspicious cargo onboard, bound for Chicago. According to a CNN broadcast report, the action was taken after an IED disguised as a toner cartridge was found on a cargo plane from Yemen to Chicago. Law enforcement sources, though, were offering differing reports on whether the package had explosive materials. That flight was stopped in London at the time. Law enforcement sources told CNN they were acting on a tip in the last 24 hours from an unnamed "ally" that cargo coming from Yemen headed for "synagogues" in Chicago.
