Police Close JFK Employee Parking Lot After Bomb Threat

NEW YORK (AP) -- Police shut down an employee parking lot at John F. Kennedy airport Monday after receiving a bomb threat -- but no explosives were found.

Marc Lavorgna, a spokesman at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, says the warning of a vehicle packed with explosives was called in anonymously Monday afternoon. He says police narrowed down which vehicle the caller was referring to, then shut down the employee lot. A bomb squad team determined there were no explosives at around 5:30 p.m.

No air passengers were effected by the incident. Lavorgna says police are trying to determine who called in the threat.
