LITTLE FALLS, N.J. (AP) — Officials say a worker
digging a trench on a New Jersey college campus unearthed an old explosive
device that apparently was used in construction.
A portion of the Montclair State University campus in Little Falls will
remain closed Thursday. However, no classes have been canceled.
Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik says the bomb squad stopped working on
the device on Wednesday night because of darkness. Berdnik says officers are
trying to determine how it got there and disarm it.
Montclair State officials tell The Record newspaper (http://bit.ly/Oo9KNt ) the area had been a
quarry decades ago and there's a potential for leftover blasting caps in the
area.
