November 11th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) Agents with the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) equipped with explosive-sniffing dogs responded to a bomb scare at the Goicoechea courthouse on Friday, after an anonymous phone call led authorities to a suspicious device in an upstairs bathroom.
The discovery of the device led to the evacuation of the entire building.
In a photograph provided to RTN News Channel 13 by a source at the court, what appears to be a tightly wrapped package with two red cables connected to it can be seen in a toilet.
An investigation is ongoing to determine if the device was in fact an explosive, and who may have placed it in the building.
Editor’s note: Local media reports after press time for this article indicate that authorities determined the device was a hoax. We have updated the headline/title of the article as a result.
