CBS reports:

Authorities have detained one person suspected of planting suspicious devices around the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery and the Iwo Jima Memorial, reports CBS News chief national security correspondent David Martin.

The suspect is also connected to an investigation into a suspicious vehicle near the Pentagon.

It remains unclear whether the vehicle in question belongs to the person in custody, but all the roads around the Pentagon have been closed and traffic is at a standstill, says Martin.

Pentagon police spokesman Chris Layman said the person was taken into custody early Friday and that one or two other people may be involved. Layman says the car is in bushes near the Pentagon's north parking lot.
