Another false bomb scare in Lefkosa, the fourth of such incident

The Turkish Cypriot police were called into action again on Friday after a suspicious looking backpack was found in the courtyard of the Arabahmet Mosque in Lefkosa.

According to report, the area was quickly placed under lock down and security to enable bomb disposal teams to examine the backpack which was found only to have clothes inside.

This is the third or fourth time such a false alarm regarding suspicious looking bags has been made in the last one month.
