Manhattan, NY – Bomb Threat Against United Nations

Manhattan, NY – A bomb threat made against the United Nations headquarters is being investigated as a potential hoax, the NYPD said.
The threat was made in a call to emergency phone line 911, said Paul Browne, New York Police Department’s chief spokesman, and security at the United Nations was increased as a precaution. “It was some sort of threat claiming that there would be a bomb delivered. Some precautionary steps were taken and we’re investigating it as a potential hoax,” Browne said.

The building was not evacuated and has remained open to the public. [Reuters]
