CORONADO, Calif. (AP) — The main entrance to North Island Naval Air Station near San Diego was closed for hours after a motorist was found with bomb-making materials. A military spokesperson says the vehicle approached the gate around 9 a.m. Tuesday and was stopped and searched at the request of Naval Criminal Investigative Service officials. The spokesperson says the search turned up bomb-making materials that were not assembled into any kind of device. Officials detained the driver for questioning. The entrance was reopened around 2 p.m. Naval Air Station North Island is one of eight U.S. military installations that make up Naval Base Coronado.
