Police gave the “all-clear” Wednesday afternoon shortly after a bomb threat forced an evacuation at the Jewish Community Center of Middlesex County in Edison, New Jersey.

Police officers barred those who were evacuated from going to their cars until the search was completed.
Last week the FBI issued a “concrete threat” warning to synagogues across New Jersey; the alert was discontinued after a suspect was taken into custody.
