Yesterday morning, the main police command had received an anonymous call about a bomb threat at the Independent Broadcasting Authority. The Celicourt building, located on Célicourt Antelme Street, was evacuated. Police and members of the Special Mobile Force Explosives Handling Unit combed the building. However, nothing suspicious was found. Employees returned to work.
According to Inspector Coothen, “it was a bad joke,” he says.
As a precautionary measure, the nearby Paille en Queue Building had also been evacuated. But by mid-day, employees were able to return to their posts. In fact, the alert would also concern the ICAC. The building in question was evacuated in an emergency.
