Police Investigate Bomb Threat at CNN Offices

by Associated Press

   NEW YORK --

   Police are investigating a phoned bomb threat at a building housing
   CNN's offices in Manhattan.

   Police said the threat was received at the Time Warner building at 25
   Columbus Circle Thursday night.

   CNN said several fire alarm bells signaling an evacuation rang inside
   its newsroom shortly after 10:30 p.m.
   In a tweet, CNN's Brian Stelter said the office had been evacuated and
   that CNN was airing taped programming.

   In October, the building was partially evacuated after a suspicious
   package containing a crude pipe bomb was delivered to the company.
