Port Reopens After Terror Threat Probe

PORT HUENEME, Calif., June 26, 2006(AP) A seaport in Ventura County, northwest of Los Angeles, was reopened Monday after a four-hour investigation of a potential terror threat turned up nothing suspicious.

Authorities closed off the Port Of Hueneme in Ventura County after a dockworker discovered the message scrawled in marker on a metal pillar in the hold of a ship carrying bananas from Guatemala, said Will Berg, the port's marketing director.

Berg said the message read: "This nitro is for you Mr. George W. Bush and your Jewish cronies."

Federal authorities gave a slightly different version, saying the inked message was: "Nitro (plus sign) glycerin, my gift for G.W. Bush and his Jewish gang."

About 20 people aboard the ship, a 30,000-ton refrigerated vessel that arrived from the Port of Quetzal in Guatemala, were evacuated, he said. Workers already outside the port were being kept out, though anyone inside was allowed to remain.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said agents were at the scene but would not comment further.

Divers were called in to inspect the water. But Berg says nothing suspicious was found besides the original message, and the port was reopened.

The port is located northwest of Los Angeles.
