Bali ‘bomb’ was just a pair of bathers

Sunday, 22 Mar, 2011 0

In the latest bomb scare to hit Indonesia, police in Bali declared that a suspicious package found on Monday contained only a tourist’s swimsuit and other holiday items. 



Police were alerted after a suspicious package was found outside Kerobokan Prison. 



A bomb squad dismantled the package, finding swimming trunks, a book, a pair of sunglasses, a towel and a copy of a passport.

Indonesia is on high alert following the discovery of at least five parcel bombs and a number of false alarms.

On Saturday, the bomb squad detonated a suspicious package outside a hotel in Bali’s Gianyar district. 

The package contained a wire cutter and rolls of wire, but no explosive materials.
