Explosives Not Found On Plane In Grand Forks

By Steve Wennblom

Fargo, ND – An FBI spokesman says no explosives were found when bags from an airplane were searched in Grand Forks.

Special agent Jay Brunn says a man on the plane had been acting strangely before the search.

A bomb-sniffing dog at first indicated there may be explosives in a bag ? but didn't indicate that during a second check.

No explosives were found. Brunn says the passenger who was acting strangely is being questioned but he doesn't expect the man will be arrested.

Authorities say the plane was flying from Canada to Minneapolis when it was diverted to Grand Forks because of the terrorist attacks on the East Coast.
