US embassy evacuated after Brussels bomb scare

The US embassy and several Belgian government offices were evacuated Wednesday after police found a suspect vehicle nearby and called in the bomb squad, officials said.
A US spokesman said staff from the embassy as well as the US mission to the European Union left the building early afternoon after police informed them of the suspect vehicle.
β€œIt is correct,” spokesman Viktor Sadabras of the US mission to the EU said when asked about reports of the evacuation.
Police said the US action was taken independently as a precaution while authorities ordered the evacuation of Belgian government offices in the area in central Brussels.
