WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Police are at the scene of a explosion on the Yale campus.

Authorities said the incident occurred in a mailroom in a building on Wall Street.

Police said the building, which is part of the Yale School Of Law, is not on fire, but the floor might have partially collapsed. Authorities said the explosion caused heavy damage.

Witnesses told NBC 30 Connecticut that they saw an explosion and a blast of debris.

James Foye, a spokesman for Mayor John DeStefano, said he had no information about injuries. A fire department dispatcher said crews were on the scene but had no details.

The incident came as the nation was on elevated alert for possible terrorist attacks and several hours after President George W. Bush -- a Yale alumnus -- visited the state to speak at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduation ceremony in New London.

A spokeswoman for the FBI in New Haven said members of the agency's Joint Terrorism Task Force were dispatched to the scene.

Despite the obvious inclination to think terrorism, this is also very close to the 10th anniversary of the unibomber.

The m.o. also doesn't seem to be consistent with previous Al Q bombings......This may very well be unrelated.

Apparently there were no injuries at all.

Good points TT just think if it had happen during trading hours, Hope no one has died or injured.

Sad now how every firecracker that goes off is terrorism, stop watching the news it is all distorted all the time. Fact is 97.43% of explosions are not acts of terrorism.

JJ According to my calculations it is 97.46%....
