Federal authorities on Thursday raided several locations in the Northeast and took several people into custody as part of an ongoing investigation into the failed Times Square car bombing, according to a statement released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Boston.

The statement said the actions “do not relate to any known immediate threat to the public or active plot against the United States” and were undertaken based on evidence that was gathered in the investigation that followed the car bomb attempt on May 1.

“We can confirm that search warrants have been executed in several locations in the Northeast in connection with the investigation into the attempted Times Square bombing,” said the statement, released by the office of Warren Bamford, the special agent in charge of the F.B.I.’s Boston office.

A number of people who were encountered by the agents as they executed the warrants were taken into custody for immigration violations, the statement said.

CBS/AP) Four people were detained in FBI raids across Massachusetts and New York in connection with the failed Times Square bombing, officials told CBS News.

Authorities searched a Massachusetts home and gas station, detaining two men on immigration violations, FBI spokesperson Gail Marcinkiewicz said, though she would not say whether they were directly involved in the plot.

"The searches are a product of evidence that has been gathered in the investigation subsequent to the Times Square bombing investigation," said Marcinkiewicz.

Marcinkiewicz added that there is "no known immediate threat to the public or any active plot against the United States."

Two more people were detained in Long Island, NY. A source told CBS station WCBS that two raids were conducted in the towns of Shirley and Centerreach in Suffolk County. One person was taken into custody at each locations.
