EMBASSY SCARE: Scores of onlookers, many of whom peeped between the bars of the iron partition, watched members of the police bomb squad secure a box allegedly containing bomb, yesterday. The bomb squad was called to the American Embassy compound after they received a suspicious parcel. The box was reportedly sent by a person who claimed to be a dentist from Solo, Central Java.
