Bomb scare over at building near New York's "Ground Zero" - police


    (Reuters) - New York City Police gave the all-clear signal on Thursday after a bomb scare and evacuation at a building near 'Ground Zero,' the site of the World Trade Center towers brought down in the September 11, 2001, attacks.

    What appeared to have been an explosive device revealed by a building X-ray machine was actually a novelty hand grenade on a plaque that read "complaint department, pull the pin," police spokesman Paul Browne said. It had been sent to Nomura Holdings, a financial services tenant of the building, 2 World Financial Center.

    Employees were being allowed back into the building.
