Second bomb threat at House
JAKARTA: Officers from the police Gegana bomb disposal squad cleared the House
of Representatives compound Tuesday after a bomb threat.
Gegana officers were deployed after an SMS was sent to the police hotline number
1717 saying there was bomb in the House compound.
"This is the second bomb hoax to the House compound since February," chief of
state institutions security Comr. Herry Ardyanto told Detik.com news portal.
"That is why we have to check all points at all buildings in the House compound."
Herry said overall security arrangements in the House compound were already good
but the police did not want to take any chances.
"We are now chasing the SMS sender, who is somewhere in Bekasi," said Herry. --
