Bogus bomb threat snarls rush hour traffic (PA)

Thousands of motorists were stuck in traffic on the Parkway East during the afternoon rush hour Thursday after someone called in a phony bomb threat.

Mungo said the call came from a payphone on Carson Street on Pittsburgh’s South Side. The caller was a man who had an “unknown type” of foreign accent, she said. (snip)

A Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting state and city police in the investigation, Mungo said. If the caller is caught, he faces felony charges of threat to use a weapon of mass destruction and threat to use weapons of mass destruction.

“This is a serious incident,” Mungo said.
