Explosion Reported at Yale Law School
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EW HAVEN, Conn. -- An explosion was reported in a mail room at the Yale University law school, a city spokesman said.
James Foye, a spokesman for Mayor John DeStefano, said he had no immediate information about any injuries.
The FBI in New Haven said members of the agency's terrorism task force were sent to the scene.
Smoke could be seen rising from downtown.
The incident came as the nation was on elevated alert for possible terrorist attacks and several hours after President Bush -- a Yale alumnus -- visited the state to speak at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony in New London.
