Posted: Updated:

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Workers are being allowed back in to a cargo building at Newark Liberty International Airport after being evacuated due to a suspicious package.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the evacuation was ordered a little before 10:30 a.m. after a package tested positive for explosives. The Port Authority operates Newark Liberty Airport.

Spokesman Ron Marsico says the package was cleared by the Essex County Bomb Squad and employees were being allowed back in by about 11:30.
