Suspicious Item Found Near Pentagon 'Disrupted'

From CBS News:

A suspicious item found inside a vehicle near the Pentagon has been "disrupted" and "rendered safe," a law enforcement official has told CBS News.

The U.S. Park Police have in custody a man believed to be connected to the item, according to Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser.

The man was detained after the Park Police came across him overnight in Arlington National Cemetery. The Park Police then launched a search for the man's vehicle, which was found near the Pentagon, Schlosser said.

Previously, the man was suspected of planting suspicious devices just outside Washington, D.C., in the area of Arlington, Va., at the national cemetery, the Pentagon and the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, also known as the Iwo Jima Memorial.

Schlosser did not confirm that report; however he said the Arlington County Fire Department's bomb disposal unit was called in to examine the vehicle out of precaution.
