COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The Army says one of five soldiers connected to a military translator program remains under investigation for alleged verbal threats involving food at Fort Jackson, its largest training base.

Army spokesman Patrick Jones said Thursday the soldier, one of five detained in December, continues under investigation by its Criminal Investigative Division. He did not disclose the soldier's location, whether he remains detained or whether the others are currently being investigated. None was identified.

Fort Jackson near Columbia trains more than 50,000 soldiers annually and serves about 40,000 hot meals daily. Jones says no one was ever in danger and no one was poisoned.

Jones says the program's December move to Arizona was unrelated to the investigation.
