Police clear package found at Saudi, Qatar UN missions

NEW YORK, January 27, 2016

Police cleared a suspicious package on Tuesday that had led to the evacuation of a building opposite the United Nations headquarters in New York that houses the U.N. missions of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

"It's all over," said John Miller, New York Police Department deputy commissioner for intelligence and counter-terrorism. "It's a couple of household items and a framed picture, no hazard."

"It may just be a gift to the mission, we don't know," he told reporters.
