DENVER—A bus station across the street from the federal courthouse where a Colorado terror suspect appeared Thursday was briefly evacuated after an employee found a suspicious package.

An employee in the Greyhound station’s mailroom found the package at about 8 a.m., said Michael Timlin, district manager for Greyhound. Police cleared the station by 8:30, closed four city blocks to traffic, then reopened the station and surrounding streets an hour later.

Timlin said station employees were aware of federal court proceedings across the street for Najibullah Zazi, indicted on Thursday on conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction.

“It’s probably coincidence, but it’s better safe than sorry,” Timlin said.
