There was another bomb scare near Bank Street just two days before. Bank, Lisgar, Nepean, Kent and O’Connor were closed to circulation from 10:45PM on Saturday, 25 October, until 1:25AM. This was reported in The Sun and Le droit (27 Oct08, p. 10; see below), but I cannot find a record of this incident reported by The Citizen or the CBC.
The police were probably hyper-sensitive to this kind of incident when the suitcase was discovered on Monday. Odd that the CBC and The Citizen found the Monday “empty suitcase” incident worthy of reporting and not the Saturday incident, which according to The Sun involved actual explosives. Hmmmm.
Colis suspect a Ottawa
La découverte d'un colis suspect a nécessité la fermeture de plusieurs rues dans la nuit de samedi hier à Ottawa. Un piéton a logé un appel au 9-1-1 samedi vers 22 h 15 après avoir trouvé une glacière a proximité d'un site de construction situé à l’angle des rues Bank et Nepean. La glaciaire contenait finalement des échantillons de carotte de béton. Les rues Bank, Lisgar, Nepean, Kent et O'Connor ont été fermées à la circulation pendant près de trois heures soit de 22h45 à 1h25.
