KL's twin towers reopen after hoax

KUALA LUMPUR (AP): The world's tallest buildings, the Petronas
Twin Towers, reopened to tourists on Thursday, a day after a bomb
hoax caused Malaysian police to evacuate thousands of office
workers and shoppers.

Petronas, the national oil company that owns the landmark,
earlier announced the indefinite closure of the towers'
skywalk, the only part of the buildings that is not restricted to
tenants and staff only.

But in an abrupt reversal, Petronas issued a brief statement
saying that the skywalk was being reopened immediately for public
visits. No reason was given, and Petronas officials declined to
comment.

The skywalk was closed all day on Wednesday and for at least
an hour on Thursday.
