DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: We have breaking out of LAX. Want to let you go right there. As we understand it, a man has been taken into custody in the security breech at LAX. Once again, this started about 45 minutes ago in Terminal 6, that is one of the domestic terminals at Los Angeles International Airport. At the time, officials were saying that a suspicious package had been found.

We are also getting news here at CNN that the man who has been taken into custody was supposedly carrying a military explosive. That's all we have on that right now. We should say that today's evacuation follows Friday's evacuation at a different terminal at LAX, the terminal where the international flights go out was the one evacuated on Friday. This, once again, is a domestic terminal at Los Angeles International Airport.

Once again, a man being taken into custody for carrying some kind of military explosive. We will have more on that as the story develops out of LAX.
