Bomb scare at site of Scooter Libby trial, Fitzgerald evacuated

Law enforcement officials were surveying the area around the building's Constitution Avenue entrance where a police dog alerted to a scent picked up from the package, which was found near a construction trailer outside the courthouse entrance.

Evacuation of the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse occurred shortly before a hearing was to begin in the CIA leak case.

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and about eight of his associates were forced to leave the building and join more than 100 others on the sidewalks nearby.

The defendant in the case, former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, and his legal team had not arrived.
