Grand jury to probe La. bridge blockade
NEW ORLEANS -- A grand jury will investigate last year's blockade of a Mississippi River bridge by armed police officers who turned back Hurricane Katrina evacuees trying to flee New Orleans.

Orleans Parish District Attorney Eddie Jordan declined to reveal any details of the investigation but said in a prepared statement that he had received a report from the state attorney general's office.

The grand jury will not begin the investigation next week but it will start soon, said Leatrice Dupre, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.

Here's Fox News in a rare honest moment during the blockade, for those who wish to revise what happened.
