A bomb alert briefly closed the Sofia City Courthouse in Sofia, BTA reported. The fake threat was faxed to the prosecutor's office. The Sofia District Court building also remained closed for several hours, again due to a false alarm about an explosive device.

For the same reason, several Sofia-based schools were also closed, where children had to be evacuated urgently. Some of the educational institutions suspended classes for the whole day. The inspection of the buildings continues and so far no explosive device has been found.

Yesterday, a similar signal necessitated a thorough search of Sofia Airport as well as some stations of the subway.
