Kansas City, MO —
A suspicious vehicle is being investigated in downtown Kansas City after police said a man walked into a government building and said he was a terrorist.
The man was taken into custody and police sent a bomb-sniffing dog to the man's vehicle, which had been parked in a spot near the Fletcher Daniels State Office building and the towering Richard Bolling Federal Building.
The dog detected some sort of explosive in the car. Police later used a remote-control robot to probe the car, and television helicopters showed the robot opening the trunk and pulling out what appeared to be a green tarp and a spare tire.
It wasn't clear which office building the man had entered around noon Friday.
Jackson County officials said county had not be evacuated although the regional jail was on lockdown.
