Bomb hoax rocks Yogyakarta

Bomb hoax rocks Yogyakarta

YOGYAKARTA (JP): An unidentified man called the Yogyakarta
Police early on Monday claiming that bombs had been planted on
the campus of the University of National Development (UPN).

First. Isnp. Junaidi received the call. He then reported the
bomb threat to center of control and operation chief Sr. Supt.
Karyono, who then informed the UPN campus, located in Condong
Catur.

"Two units of the bomb squad were immediately sent to the
campus. The officers combed all corners, including the drains, of
the compound. No explosives were found," he said.

Karyono said the same person called four times. "The last two
calls the man said the bombs were ready to explode."

He said the police had no clue about the caller's identity.
"From the voice, it is clear the caller was a man."

Sudarti, a lecturer at UPN, said that the bomb hoax did not
disrupt academic activities. "It's strange for us that the man
told the police about the bombs planted on the campus. He should
have informed us. Why didn't the man just detonate the bomb,
instead of calling the police," she said.

She said that only a few UPN officials knew about the bomb
hoax. "No students heard about this." (44)
