Rome, double bomb alert at court buildings

A double bomb alert was triggered at two prominent court buildings in Rome: Piazzale Clodio, the site of the judicial complex, and Piazza Cavour, the location of the Court of Cassation. Police and Carabinieri personnel promptly responded with the bomb squad to ascertain the credibility of an anonymous call received via the central telephone number 112, in which an unidentified individual disclosed the presence of explosives at both locations. Law enforcement initiated a comprehensive search. No further details have been released at this time.
