Bomb hoax at UI Salemba campus

JAKARTA: On day two of the new year, the capital was already threatened by a bomb hoax.

An employee of the clinic at the University of Indonesia's school of dentistry on Jl. Salemba, Central Jakarta, received two similar calls at about 8:30 a.m., saying a bomb had been planted in the building where the clinic and the school of dentistry were located, Detikcom reported.

While all students, lecturers and staff were evacuated until 11:40 a.m., the police bomb squad combed the building but found nothing. -- JP
