(New York- WABC, August 3, 2007) - Several people are being questioned by police after being stopped apparently attempting to set sail off Brooklyn in a makeshift submarine-type vessel.
Police say the men were caught in the area of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Downtown Brooklyn, near the Queen Mary 2, just after 11 a.m. this morning No threatening devices or materials were found on board the vessel. The initial indication is this is not terrorism related. Authorities say they were in a large barrel put together as a type of makeshift 'submarine-type vessel,'complete with oxygen tanks. Officers responded to the area, found the men and are questioning them. Their intent was not immediately clear. (Copyright 2007 WABC-TV)
