JAKARTA, Jan. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- The Indonesian police on Saturday announced
the arrest of a woman who has confessed to sending a text message to the Thai
and British embassies threatening of bombings.
"The suspect was arrested on Friday evening. She is hospitalized now for
depression," Jakarta police spokesman Tjiptono told a press conference here.
He said that the woman, identified only as Zulfah, 22, has no links with
any terror group.
She made the bomb hoax to prevent his boyfriend, who works as a security
guard at the Thai Embassy compound, from taking vacation to his hometown in East
Java, said Tjiptono.
Zulfah sent the message to a hotline number provided by the Thai Embassy
for information of terrorism.
Her message reads: "I warn you I will put bombs at the Thai and British
Embassies on Imam Bonjol street. I will blow each of the embassies on Friday at
noon and Saturday evening. It's no game andbe careful."
Officers used the mobile phone number to trace the sender and arrested
Zulfah on Friday evening.
The bomb hoax has forced both embassies to suspend
public services on Friday.
