Bomb hoaxer detained in Beijing ( 2003-12-17 21:06) (Xinhua) A man who created chaos in
downtown Beijing with a fake bomb on Monday has been detained, Beijing police
announced Wednesday.
Li Jun, a farmer from northeast China's Jilin province, brought a paper bag
to an office building on the Fuxing Road in west Beijing and claimed there was a
bomb in the bag and threatened to detonate it. The reception staff call the
police immediately.
Li surrendered after a 15-minute negotiation with police and handed over the
package, which turned out to be sand.
Li's target is a company in the building that he said had cheated
him.
