Bomb Scare at Baabda Justice Palace

The Justice Palace in Baabda was evacuated on Friday after a bomb threat that turned out to be a hoax, media reports said.

The National News Agency said that a call was made on Friday morning threatening to blow up the building while Judge Faisal Haidar was holding judicial hearings.

Security forces took extra measures and began searching for the alleged bomb.

But Voice of Lebanon radio station (93.3) said later that the threat turned out to be a hoax after police found no bomb at the Justice Palace.
