Ayeni Tolulope CNN offices in New York have again been evacuated because of a phoned-in bomb threat, though the police have issued an all-clear message.
Staff in offices and studios fled the 24-hour news network’s building after several fire alarms went off about 10.30pm.
Anchor Don Lemon tweeted that staff were evacuated in the middle of his live show, with the station now showing taped programming.
“The NYPD has now given us the all clear, and employees have been permitted to return to the building. The building is secure and safe for everyone to return in the morning. We appreciate the swift action by the local authorities, and the patience and professionalism of all the employees who were impacted” CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker said in an internal memo to staff.
CNN was also evacuated in October after a package with an explosive device, addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, was discovered. The package was among more than a dozen improvised explosive devices sent to prominent Democratic politicians and donors around the country in October.
None of the devices detonated, and no one was injured. Suspect Cesar Sayoc, 56, was charged with five federal crimes and is currently in custody waiting for trail. If convicted, he could receive up to 48 years in prison.

they need to fear of there life first before any other things. prevention is better than cure.
Why the bomb treat,the security should be Everly alert for safety of the employees
I don’t understand abt terrorists is the fact that they kill innocent people to have their way and they still claim to be doing the right thing. The thing tire me. Thank God no life was lost
Safety first, though the call might be a prank but safety first. However the issue of bomb threats is becoming too rampant in the US this days, something has to be done
Thank God no life lost
Life first before any other thing
Wow,that’s good. Thank God they have resolved everything, so people can get back to work.
Thanks God no life was lost
They is problem everywhere, thank God none of the bombs detonated
Tnk God no lost life

prevention is better than cure, life first before any other things.
Thank God no life was lost
That shows how developed and organize US is, one day Nigeria will be like that where you give information investigation will be carry out and not to hunt the giver of the information
I hope the threat was not lies to cause confusion
Swift action was taken by the authorities, which is a good one. Prevention is better than cure.
It’s so good they had the information on the bomb ontime and took necessary precautions, good job to the police and CNN for their cooperation, now their facility is safe
We dont blame dem life first before job o u have to b alive to b able to broadcast d news we don’t blame dem life first before job o u have to be alive to be able to broadcast the news
ThankGod no life was lost and they should investigate the bombing very well
I bless God,no life was lost and thank you to the right authority that came on time.
Terrorists is a global treating, I think they made a best decision to evacuate from there
Good that every where is stable now
Better for them o, this bomb issue is everywhere
All this terrorist i don’t understand they are everywhere but thank God there was an urgent intervention.
Thank God for further established and a life protected during the threat
Life means a lot to the government of America . Bomb threat is not a good one and should never be taking for granted . Whenever such thing occurs , evacuation is just the best option
The police should properly investigate the matter, continuous threats cannot be mistake… Someone probably has a beef with the company and plans to destroy or could even be a case of theft like we see in the movies..
That is a good idea because no one wants to lose his dear life
The safe existence of people is what really comes first before any other thing…..for a living being is the one that has the privilege to make money………
May God save us from these bad people
It’s better to run for ur life than every other thing.
See as the Americans are sharp. One time they don evacuate everybody. If you come Naija now, they go take the whole day before they clear everybody out and some people will still lose their lives. Thank God no one was injured
Thank God no one was injured.
It look so obvious, for CNN office to be bomb, but that God for many life
Its a threat but what if something else for planned as regards the evacuation. Anything can happen.

Many nation now beef up with more sophisticated devices for intelligent gathering and hope Nigeria will learn because I wouldn’t imagine if is inthis country this happened, we could have dictated the terrorist act in time. Thank God no life was lost and pro active of the security. Kudos

Terrorism Everwhere ,these Boko Haram brothers don’t know who they are dealing with.
See the way they were swift to take control of the situation and workers have gone back to work. This is a ciuntry to reckon with.
Thanks to God and also the swift action of security personnel, that no life was lost. I feel the culprit should be given life sentence since the bombs were placed with intent to kill.
Thank God for the lives he protect
I meant a country to reckon with.
Protection of life is the most peramont , and the responsiveness of the police is quit on time , good one.
Life first, but I must confess America is organized within 24hours everything was resolved
Thank God some lives are save.
Life is the most important thing.
