Bomb threat at Milan stock market regulator was false alarm

MILAN (Reuters) - A bomb threat on Tuesday at the Milan offices of Italy's stock market regulator Consob was a false alarm, a police spokesman said.

The offices were evacuated earlier on Tuesday after a telephoned bomb warning. The alert was called off after police with sniffer dogs searched the premises.
