Threatening Notes Spur Search of Cruise Ship
From Times Wire Services
Officials searched the cruise ship Legends of the Sea, with 1,668 passengers aboard, after discovering two handwritten threatening letters left in a restroom, the FBI said.
The Royal Caribbean cruise ship was allowed to continue on its 11-day cruise after nothing was found. It was bound to Hilo from Ensenada, Mexico, when a passenger and a maintenance worker found the letters.
The ship was diverted and moored off Oahu, where law officers searched the ship.
