Seattle, WA +Port Evacuated for Suspicious Container+
Seattle, WA +Port Evacuated for Suspicious Container+ Dozens of personnel were evacuated from Terminal 18, and the bomb squad was set to examine a suspicious container and determine its contents.
The container was taken off the ship because of questions about a manifest, a port spokesman said.
"The bomb-sniffing dogs did what bomb-sniffing dogs do, and it caused us to be worried there might be explosives," he said.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Mike Zolzer said the container was supposed to contain oily rags, but authorities apparently found items that did not match that description.
Terminal 18 covers nearly 200 acres, making it the port's largest container terminal and one of the largest in the U.S. It serves more than 20 steamship lines and receives more than 40 vessels each month.
U/D: 23:57
Nothing found on the containers from Pakistan.
