Mandiri branch receives bomb threat
PEKANBARU, Riau: An anonymous caller, a woman, threatened on Wednesday to
detonate a bomb at Bank Mandiri's Pekanbaru branch on Jl. Gen. Sudirman here,
sparking panic among bank employees.
The threat, however, turned out to be a hoax.
The operational manager of the bank, Mirza Yunan Rivai, said that telephone operator
Suheri received the call at 10 a.m. and reported it to Mirza.
Police personnel were immediately called in to comb the area, but concluded there
was no bomb in the bank. -- JP
