Bomb scares hit Hungarian broadcasters
HírTV suspended broadcast of an interview with Fidesz chairman Viktor Orbán due to a bomb alert last night. Police evacuated the building after someone called them shortly before 7 p.m. and told an on-duty officer that a bomb had been planted at HírTv.
In a separate incident at 8 p.m. an unknown caller told fire-fighters that he would blow up MTV at midnight. The building was partly evacuated.
