MIAMI FBI spokesman Mike Leverock says there is no connection to
terrorism. The man is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was traveling
Tuesday on an American Airlines flight from Boston to Miami and on
to Jamaica. His name was not immediately released.
Leverock says several hundred bullet primers were discovered
inside the bag after some ignited. No one was injured, although a
few small shards struck the shoe of a baggage handler.
The man was being held on a charge of traveling in interstate
commerce without a license to carry ammunition.
