Rome [Italy], Oct 02 (ANI): The Italian police blew up an unattended bag at the Rome airport after they suspected that it had a bomb in it. But, to their surprise, the suitcase turned out to contain a bunch of coconuts.
A freelance journalist, Ned Donovan, who witnessed the scene, took to Twitter to narrate it.
