CLINIC IN TERNATE GETS BOMB THREAT
Ternate, Indonesia, April 25 (ANTARA) - Workers and patients at a community health center (Puskesmas) here were on Saturday morning shocked by a short text message (SMS) saying that a bomb planted in the building was to explode soon.
Puskesmas staffers Amria and Merlin said they received identical short text messages containing the bomb threat at 7:30 East Indonesia Time (WIT) from an unidentified person whose cell phone number was 081244689698.
They passed on the message to their colleagues and a number of patients who then ran out of the clinic in panic for fear that the bomb threat would prove to be true.
Amira said she managed to contact the sender of the message at number 081244689698 and the person at the other end said he had sent the SMS from Yogyakarta in Java.
"I asked the person why he had sent such a message but he immediately cut off the communication," Amira said.
Ternate police who received a report about the bomb terror then sent a bomb squad which scoured all floor of the clinic but they did not find any bomb.
Although no bomb was found, the Puskesmas workers and patients who had run out of the clinic were reluctant to return because of trauma.***
