Boy arrested for false bomb threat

INDONESIA: Police said a first-grade student identified only as
Charles was arrested on Friday night after allegedly making the
false bomb threat to the Flobamor mall in Kupang, the provincial
capital of East Nusa Tenggara.

Police chief Marten Raja told Deutsche Presse-Agentur by
telephone on Saturday, saying no bomb was found during the
search.

"He was all smiley and happy when we took him in and
questioned him," Raja said. "He said he did it just for fun, as
that's what he saw happen on TV."

Authorities said they would let the court decide whether to
prosecute the boy, who although under age might still be able to
be charged, as Indonesian anti-terror laws do not state a minimum
age for terrorism acts. -- DPA
