A federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., was evacuated for three hours Wednesday while authorities investigated a suspicious package, officials said. A dog trained to detect explosives alerted police to a package found near a construction trailer outside the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse. U.S. Marshal George B. Walsh said the package contained clothing believed to belong to a homeless person. Soiled clothing can give off a scent similar to some nitrogen-based explosives, authorities said.
