MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Seven people were in custody Thursday night after and state and local officials conducted anti-terrorism raids in Miami, law enforcement sources told CNN.

The arrests were made in connection with the early stages of a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and the FBI building in Miami, the sources told CNN.

Officials said no weapons or bomb-making materials had been found in the searches so far. The Miami area is under no imminent threat, according to the FBI.

Law enforcement sources told CNN the seven arrests were made in connection with "suspected domestic terrorist activity," and that documents related to the investigation have been sealed.
One of the arrests was made before Thursday, officials said.
