Narrative:
San jose tower cleared our aircraft for takeoff while approaching the hold short for runway 30R. Took the runway and started to spool up the engine as I heard tower clear an air carrier Y aircraft who had just landed, to cross our runway 30R. He had just landed on runway 30L. Had really just started takeoff roll about 5 to 10 KTS speed and aborted our takeoff roll. Shortly there after I heard the tower tell the air carrier Y aircraft to hold short of our runway. Informed the tower we were aborting our takeoff roll. Asked the tower what's going on. Didn't receive much but a 'roger' and then they said we were cleared for takeoff. I said we would clear the runway and taxi back to the end for takeoff since we had rolled fwd to the bravo intersection. Subsequent takeoff and flight to pdx was uneventful.
