Suspected bomb makes police busy<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A suitcase, abandoned at Soekarno-Hatta Airport
\non Sunday night and suspected of containing explosives, turned
\nout to be a piece of ordinary travel luggage.<\/p>\n
The suitcase, which was believed to be accidentally left
\nbehind by its owner at the departure section of Terminal D, kept
\nairport and City Police officers busy for a while.<\/p>\n
City Police spokesman Lt. Col. E. Aritonang said yesterday
\nthat officers of the Police Bomb Disposal Squad were immediately
\ndeployed to the airport to secure the area, following a telephone
\ncall from airport officers at 12:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
He said airport officers made the call after they found the
\nstrange bag at about 10 p.m. on Sunday. They did not want to take
\nany chances if the suitcase contained a bomb.<\/p>\n
"The 15-kilogram suitcase was later placed in a special bomb
\ncontainer and brought to Police Mobile Brigade Headquarters in
\nKelapa Dua, Bogor, for further examination," Aritonang said.<\/p>\n
City Police Chief Maj. Gen. Hamami Nata told reporters
\nyesterday afternoon, however, that the suitcase did not contain
\nany explosives.<\/p>\n
"It was just a regular suitcase and there was nothing
\ndangerous about it. A label with a person's name was attached to
\nit, so the owner must have accidentally left it behind," Hamami
\nsaid, after a ceremony where 22 motorbikes from the City Tourism
\nOffice were given to City Police.<\/p>\n
The 22 Yamaha RX King motorbikes were donated to help support
\npolice operations. (cst)<\/p>",
