Bomb squad called to Oprah TV studios

July 31, 2009

A bomb squad was called to the studios of the Oprah Winfrey Show after reports of a suspicious package, according to US reports.

Chicago bomb and arson detectives arrived at Harpo Studios at around 6.20am after an employee found a backpack with wires sticking out of it in a nearby flowerbed.

Officials used "remote diagnostics" to investigate the contents of the bag.

They later determined that it did not contain a bomb.

"Bomb and Arson [detectives] conducted remote diagnostics and rendered safe procedures without incident," a police spokeswoman said.

It is not yet known what was in the backpack.

The studio was not evacuated during the incident, although streets in the vicinity are understood to have been closed for three hours.

A representative for Oprah, 55, was unavailable for comment.
