(AP) \u2014 A person who raised alarms about a possible &#8220;dirty bomb&#8221; on a container ship approaching the port of Charleston in South Carolina was being questioned Thursday after searches found nothing dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Coast Guard Lt. James Zorn said the Charleston office received a telephone call about a &#8220;dirty bomb&#8221; aboard the Maersk Memphis container ship around 8 p.m. Wednesday. The ship docked about a half-hour later.<\/p>\n<p>Zorn said the Coast Guard contacted other federal, state and local agencies and set up a unified command that ordered the evacuation of the Wando Terminal of the South Carolina State Ports Authority in Mount Pleasant and set up a 1-mile safety zone around the dock on the Cooper River.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;dirty bomb&#8221; is not a traditional nuclear weapon, but an explosive device containing radioactive or radiation-polluted material. By 3:30 a.m. Thursday, officials had scanned four suspect containers aboard the ship and determined there was no danger.<\/p>\n<p>Zorn said the four &#8220;diplomatic&#8221; containers were searched based on intelligence gathered and information from the caller. He did not have other information on those containers, referring questions about them to the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>FBI spokesman Don Wood in Columbia said he could not talk about the containers. He also would not provide details on the person being questioned or any possible charges.<\/p>\n<p>The terminal was allowed to resume normal operations. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kmov.com\/story\/35668532\/coast-guard-fbi-investigating-report-of-dirt-bomb-in-south-carolina\">http:\/\/www.kmov.com\/story\/35668532\/coast-guard-fbi-investigating-report-of-dirt-bomb-in-south-carolina<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report of a &#8220;Dirty Bomb&#8221; on a Ship in South Carolina Port<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=75484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75484\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=75484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=75484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=75484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
