Suspicious package in Boston turns out to be benign

BOSTON -- The bomb squad destroyed a suspicious package in downtown Boston.

Police found the small, green box on the ground in the Financial District Wednesday morning.

Investigators believe it was a pedestrian counter, but the bomb squad destroyed it as a precaution.

No one was hurt, and no businesses needed to be evacuated.
