Dharmala building target of bomb hoax<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A bomb threat prompted the evacuation of 2,000
\noffice workers from Wisma Dharmala Sakti building on Jl. Jend.
\nSudirman, South Jakarta yesterday.<\/p>\n
A phone call was received at 9 a.m. from an unidentified man
\nwho threatened to blow up the building, Esther Ida Yuniarsih, a
\npublic relations officer of PT Dharmala Intiland, the building
\nowner, said.<\/p>\n
Esther said the employee who received the phone call
\nimmediately reported it to center management, which later
\ninstructed all workers to leave the building.<\/p>\n
\"We often hold fire drills. So it (the evacuation) was routine
\nfor us.\"<\/p>\n
She said the building received two or three bomb threats last
\nyear but all turned out to be hoaxes.<\/p>\n
The police bomb squad (Gegana) arrived at the scene at 1:30
\np.m. and combed the 24-story building for almost three hours. The
\nofficers found nothing suspicious.<\/p>\n
There have been a series of bomb hoaxes over the past two
\nweeks at several places, including Mal Pondok Indah shopping
\ncenter, Lebak Bulus Bus Terminal in South Jakarta and Bank
\nDanamon building and BSG building in Central Jakarta. (jun)<\/p>",
