Police detonate unattended package left at Pittsburgh-area JCC
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice detonate an unattended package left at a Pittsburgh-area JCC.
The small canvas bag was left on a ramp leading to the parking garage under the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill building on Sunday afternoon, the local CBS affiliate KDKA reports.
The Pittsburgh Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit detonated the bag after closing the two roads around the building to traffic. The JCC was closed off for less than two hours.
The package turned out to be a bag of tools left behind by a worker.
More than 100 bomb threats were made against JCCs throughout the United States in early 2017. An Israeli-American teen from Ashkelon was arrested and accused of making most of the threats, which were hoaxes.
