INCIDENTS
94-657 - George Washington Memorial Parkway (Virginia) - Bomb Threat
On the evening of November 28th, Park Police officers received a report that a
bomb had been placed on Memorial Bridge, a major crossing point over the
Potomac between Washington and northern Virginia. Access to the bridge was
shut off on both sides of the river until a search of the bridge and
surrounding area could be completed. No bomb was found, and the bridge was
reopened about 90 minutes later. Traffic across the bridge had to be shut down
again during rush hour the following morning so that a daylight search of the
area could be conducted. The closure caused major traffic disruptions
throughout the area. The bridge was reopened at 9 a.m. No arrests have yet
been made; the case is still under investigation. [Einar Olsen, RCR, RAD/NCRO,
