Bombing drill panics passers-by<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: A bomb planted in a green Datsun car exploded at
\n11.15 a.m. across from the Artha Graha building in the Sudirman
\nCentral Business District in South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
In minutes, the police bomb squad had cordoned off the scene,
\nand the deafening sirens of arriving fire trucks filled the air.<\/p>\n
Several women in business attire who happened to be passing
\nnear the blast site appeared terrified, and attempted to flee the
\narea with their hands over their ears.<\/p>\n
However, their panic turned to laughter when they discovered
\nthat the \"bombing\" was only a training exercise carried out
\njointly by the police, fire brigade and security guards to
\nprepare for further terrorist attacks following the deadly
\nbombing of the JW Marriott Hotel on Aug. 5.<\/p>\n
During the exercise, four people pretended to be dead victims,
\nand five others pretended to be suffering from severe injuries.
