Bomb Scare at Federal Building

LOS ANGELES

August 30, 2001|From a Times Staff Writer

Two federal buildings were evacuated and several downtown streets cordoned off for more than two hours Wednesday morning after a suspicious-looking package was found in the Federal Building at 300 N. Los Angeles St.

A Los Angeles police spokeswoman said the package was rendered safe about 11:15 a.m., but information about whether it contained any explosives was not immediately available.

Closing Los Angeles and Temple streets seriously snarled traffic beginning about 9 a.m.
