Hoax bomb threat puts police on alert in Ankara’s Kızılay

ANKARA

Police on Ankara were put on alert on May 31 after someone called in a fake bomb threat, daily Hürriyet reported on its website.

Buildings in Ankara’s Kızılay district were evacuated due to the suspected bomb threat at an internet cafe.

A number of police officers were dispatched to the scene following the alert on Selanik Street in Kızlıay. 

Nearby streets were reportedly closed to traffic. The threat, however, was subsequently revealed to be a hoax.
