Scouts may face fine for bomb scare

A Belgian scouting organisation may face a fine and a bill for causing a bomb scare this week at a railway in the city of Leuven where officials found a suspicious package marked “bomb 2”.

The 70,000-member Dutch-speaking federation of Catholic boy and girl scouts apologised on its website for Thursday’s bomb alert, which triggered the evacuation of the rail station, 13 miles east of Brussels.
