Bomb alert false alarm again
The alert on a bomb allegedly planted in the RA State Revenue Committee premises was a false alarm, said Mushegh Ghazaryan, head of Yerevan division of RA Rescue Service.

"The alert was made on 12.40 pm. With all essential forces enabled, it was found out that the alert was a false alarm. However, the employees will return to their working places no earlier than in 3 hours. Presently, law enforcers are searching for the anonymous caller," he said.

Asked to comment on the frequency of anonymous calls (a similar call was made on February 25, 2010), Ghazaryan said that "some people's stupidity is to blame."

As a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reported from the scene, the traffic was resumed and pedestrians are allowed into the streets adjacent to the Committee premises.
