Rome police: Device on subway couldn't explode

None

Police said Tuesday a suspicious package full of wires and powder that prompted a terror scare in Rome's subway during the Christmas season was a fake made out of cement-like powder, not explosives.

 

The device was found at around 10 am (0900GMT) on Tuesday inside a train at Rome's Rebibbia station, on the outskirts of the Italian capital. The subway car was at the end of the line and empty when the package was found, said Atac, which runs the Rome subway. (AP)
