KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 - The Umno headquarters today received an anonymous call claiming that a bomb was placed outside the building. A bomb disposal unit from the Police force was later summoned around 5 pm to inspect a gunny sack believed to contain the explosive.
About a dozen policemen were seen outside the Putra World Trade Centre. The police later cordoned off the area and barred the public from approaching the scene.The supreme council meeting which started at 3pm however continued uninterrupted. There was also no order to evacuate the building from the authorities.
A police officer met outside the building confirmed that "it was a prank."
It is still unclear whether the action by the caller was politically motivated. -- TMI
