Bomb scare

Pressure cooker found in car near Capitol detonated by bomb squad, owner arrested


Reuters / Jonathan ErnstA car owner was arrested in Washington, DC after police discovered a “suspicious” vehicle containing a pressure cooker near the US Capitol building. A bomb squad was called to detonate the object. A US Capitol Police spokeswoman told AP that officers patrolling the area had spotted an unattended vehicle parked on the National Mall west of the Capitol. The officers detected “an odor of gasoline,”which they found suspicious. Even more suspicious were some “items of concern” inside the vehicle – including a pressure cooker.
