CHICAGO (AP) - Authorities blew up a suspicious package outside the downtown federal courthouse Wednesday that turned out to contain a small refrigerator. The 3-foot-high cardboard box was discovered by a granite bench outside the John C. Kluczynski federal building and near a U.S. post office, police Sgt. David Villalobos said.
Officers considered the package suspicious in part because it had no address on it.
Authorities temporarily blocked off streets leading to the federal building while a small charge was set off next to the box.
