Bomb hoax plotter at large

MEDAN: The police still have no clue as to who left a hoax
bomb in a Bank Danamon automatic teller machine booth at Polonia
Airport here Monday, police said yesterday.

"The authorities have no one to suspect yet," spokesman for
the local Bukit Barisan regional military command Lt. Col. Agus
Ramadhan said.

The hoax bomb triggered panic at the airport as dozens of
police and troops were called in to cordon off the location and
diffuse the "bomb".

Police said the device was contained in a cardboard box 20 cm
high by 40 cm wide with "Bring prices down or this will happen
here" and "Explosive with remote" written on the side.

Agus said the device contained sulfur, wheat powder and
asbestos pipes.

On Monday, the local bomb squad took two hours to decide the
suspicious object was not a bomb and posed no threat. (21)
