Update:The package was apparently a "novelty grenade," and police say it's all clear.

Building 2 of the World Financial Center in downtown Manhattan — home of the Nomura Group — has been evacuated over a suspicious package, possibly containing a grenade. None of the other buildings are being evacuated; the police are still investigating. We'll update when we hear more. [image of evacuation via Kiersten Kilcullen]
