Cyprus man unwittingly brings bomb into police station Jan 16th 2013, 15:34 NICOSIA | Wed Jan 16, 2013 10:34am EST NICOSIA (Reuters) - A man triggered a major security scare in Cyprus on Wednesday when he walked into a police station carrying a bomb he found on his driveway, saying he wanted officers to examine it. Police said the 33-year old man discovered a suspicious device on the back window of his car and after drawing a blank on what it was doing there, decided to take it to a police station in the capital Nicosia for further scrutiny by experts. It didn't take long for police to discover it was a makeshift bomb which had failed to go off, triggering the evacuation of the complex. "He obviously didn't know what it was," a police source told Reuters. Police said the object was a "makeshift high intensity explosive" attached to a detonator and a fuse. It was defused on site by explosives experts.
