JSX receives bomb threat

JAKARTA: Only three days after Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen.
Firman Gani vowed to charge hoaxers under the Antiterrorism Law,
the Jakarta Stock Exchange on Jl. Sudirman, South Jakarta,
received a bomb threat at about 11:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The Jakarta Police said on Friday that the anonymous caller
dialed 112, the police emergency line, and claimed he had planted
a bomb in the JSX parking structure and it was ready to go off.

The police bomb squad, led by Brig. Arie, combed the building
immediately until 1 a.m. on Friday, but they did not find any
bomb or suspicious packages, and declared the building safe.

Firman had promised to lay criminal charges against hoaxers
after the Jakarta Police headquarters received a bomb threat on
Tuesday, which turned out to be a prank. -- Antara
