Pentagon scare suspect found with terror phrases

A law enforcement source told CBS News that the man detained in the discovery of a suspicious car found outside the Pentagon Friday morning was carrying a notebook that contained the phrases, "al Qaeda," "Taliban rules" and "Mujahid defeated croatian forces."

Despite the references to the terror organization that organized the 9/11 attacks, the group fighting U.S. forces in Afghanistan and the Arabic word for "holy warrior," the source said the man is not thought to have been involved in a terrorist act or plot, CBS News investigative producer Pat Milton reports.

"It seems to be washing out at this point, but it is still being drilled down on," the source told Milton.

The source said the man's backpack also contained 20 spent 9 mm shell casings and three cans of black spray paint.

FBI Special Agent Brenda Heck, who heads the bureau's counterterrorism division in its Washington field office, told reporters that a non-explosive material was also found in the backpack.

A law enforcement official speaking on the condition of anonymity said officials found what appeared to be an unknown quantity of ammonium nitrate. The official, who was not authorized to release the information, said nothing else was found that would have enabled an explosion. The official said tests were being done to determine the substance and the exact concentration.

Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound that is widely used in fertilizers and can be used in explosives with the correct concentration.

The man, who the FBI only described as being approximately in his 20s, was being held by the U.S. Park Police. No charges have been filed against him.

"This is all very unfolding and a continuing investigation," Heck told reporters.

The man was detained after the U.S. Park Police came across him in early Friday morning in Arlington National Cemetery, when it is closed, triggering an investigation. The Park Police then launched a search for the man's vehicle, which was found near the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., just outside of Washington, D.C., Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser said.

The 2011 red Nissan prompted the Arlington County Fire Department's bomb disposal unit to follow protocols, including the use of a water cannon, to render the vehicle safe, Arlington Police spokeswoman Cpl. Crystal Nosal told reporters.

Heck said no suspicious items were found in the vehicle.

Pentagon police spokesman Chris Layman said the car was in bushes near the Pentagon's north parking lot.

Previously, the man in custody was reported to have been suspected of planting suspicious devices in the Arlington area, at the national cemetery, the Pentagon and the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, also known as the Iwo Jima Memorial. Schlosser did not confirm that report.

CBS News reports that the Marine Corps Memorial is open to the public.

Arlington National Cemetery was briefly closed but has since reopened.

Matthew Chandler, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, told CBS News that federal agencies were involved with the investigation.

"DHS is monitoring a suspicious vehicle incident causing road closures around the Pentagon," Chandler said. "This is a law enforcement matter at this time, with the U.S. Park Police and the Arlington County Police Department as leads and other federal agencies on the scene."

In another incident earlier this week, a motorist found with a gun and what appeared to be a suspicious package near the Pentagon was taken into custody.

As Breakup Reports Fly, Jesse James Gets Schmoopy Over Kat Von D

 Rest easy, everyone. True love remains alive and well. OK, maybe not well, but it's still alive for Jesse James and Kat Von D, who switched into damage control mode after reports surfaced this week that they had called time on their tattoo-laden relationship.

"That is absolutely not true," the fidelity-challenged former Mr. Sanda Bullock grumbles to People. "We're still going strong. Things are completely good with us."

Von D also dismisses the breakup talk, insisting, "That's the furthest thing from the truth."

To drive the nothing-to-see-here point home, Jesse, 42, reveals to the mag that the pair's five-month engagement is humming along, and they plan to get hitched this summer on the one-year anniversary of the day their romance began.

"That day can't come soon enough!" James says of his fourth trip down the aisle. "Everything is on track. I am absolutely more in love today than I was a year ago. She's the one for me."

This week, Life & Style claimed that Jesse and Kat had suffered a setback in their relationship.

"He says there's too much drama for him," alleged a pal.

Jesse responded to the report in typical fashion (no, he didn't have a liaison with a stripper in Nazi gear or blame Sandra for his many issues): He tweeted about it.

"I like that all the piece of s--- tabloids are now following me on Twitter," he wrote on Thursday. "I'm pretty sure it's just so I can tell them to

[verb that rhymes with 'ick'] my [a part of his anatomy that rhymes with 'falls']."

Rebecca Black’s “Friday” off YouTube

Rebecca Black's "Friday" disappears off YouTube, but pay $2.99 and you might be able to see it!

For reasons unknown to humankind, you may become possessed by a squeaky tween demon or perhaps good ol’ curiousity takes the handle, and you may decide that you would like to treat yourself to Rebecca Black’s “Friday” video. Well, it seems as though it would cost you $2.99 to rent the full music video on YouTube, but then clicking on the $2.99 rental button doesn’t work either. The video disappeared off of YouTube at 167,000,000 views, claiming that Rebecca Black had pulled out the copyrights card.

With the $2.99 rental fee to view the music video, we cannot be certain whether Ark Music Factory is looking to earn even more profit off of Miss Black’s infamous song and video or there was indeed a glitch in the system. But now that the music video is off the Web, let us rejoice (or cry, for some) and lose precious hours and oxygen watching parodies of Rebecca Black’s song and video instead.

From there, Chesney will perform a sold-out show at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday (June 18) as part of his 2011 Corona-sponsored “Goin’ Coastal” tour.
