Bomb threat closes Bali school

DENPASAR, Bali: A prominent Bali school with both foreign and
Indonesian students was forced to close after a fake bomb threat
on Wednesday.

Maryati, a staff member at Dhyatmika School, considered one of
the best schools on the island, said it received the bomb threat
on Wednesday at around 8.30 a.m. local time.

The person asked her to carefully watch and guard the students
since an explosion would take place on the nearby Sanur highway
after 2.00 p.m.

"The students were sent home early as a precaution only,"
Denpasar Police chief Adj. Comr. Helmy Santika said.

The police bomb squad found no explosives device during an
intensive search around the school and highway. --JP
