(MENAFN- The Journal Of Turkish Weekly) The metrobus station in Istanbul’s Avclar district was closed due to a false bomb notice on April 17. Police teams were dispatched to the station upon identification of a suspicious package and the station was closed by the police. The line remained active but metrobuses did not stop at the station to which a team of specialists was called. After the examinations it was understood that the suspicious object was a flask. The station was reopened after half an hour. This is the second time a metrobus station in Avclar has been closed due to a bomb threat. A suspicious plastic bottle surrounded with ball bearings triggered panic at a metrobus station in the same district early on April 13. Following a call police teams were dispatched to the University Campus metrobus station in Avclar. Police conducted inspections in the station but did not find any threat in the area.
