Palu church target of bombing hoax

PALU, Central Sulawesi: A church in East Palu was the target
of a bomb hoax on Thursday, just two days after a female
minister, Susianti Tinulele, was shot dead while giving sermon in
Effata Church in South Palu.

Police were immediately called after an unidentified caller
told an employee at the Bala Keselamatan church on Jl. Hasanuddin
that there was a bomb in the compound.

After combing the premises, police found a fake bomb -- two
batteries and cables packed in plastic. -- JP
