Weird Story

Thats a real weird story from a european site.
It happened near Florence in Italy. A 50-year-old man invaded a stopover on highway A1, connecting Florence to Bologna, claiming he was strapped with explosives. Strong Italian police forces deployed around the area and evacuated the station, while traffic was interrupted for over an hour, forming long lines of immobilised cars.

After a long hour of negotiations, the suicide bomber surrendered to the Carabinieri and it was revealed the suicide attack was a hoax, since the only thing he was strapped with was a pillow. Ansa news agency broadcast the 50-year-old was a truck driver facing serious working problems.
