More action at the Port of Miami: Bomb Squad Investigates Suspicious Material at Port of Miami.

MIAMI — A suspicious device was found Monday at the Port of Miami, according to officials.

A bomb squad was on the scene; officers were seen donning explosive suits.

A spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police said the bomb squad has located some sort of instrument that tested positive for C-4 — a type of plastic explosive, reported local FOX affiliate WSVN-TV.

Miami-Dade Police were gathered near Cruise Terminal H of the port, where Royal Caribbean’s Majesty of the Seas cruise ship is docked. The ship and it’s 2,356 guests and 812-member crew is scheduled to leave Monday night for five days.

WSVN is also reporting that flight restrictions have been placed over Port of Miami.

Fox just reported that it was another false alarm…

UPDATE at 1/8/07 12:42:28 pm:

But maybe not; latest reports say the suspicious package tested positive for C4 plastic explosive six times.

UPDATE at 1/8/07 1:09:03 pm:

Authorities have now announced it was definitely a false positive result for explosives; the package apparently contained “sprinkler parts.”
