Bomb Squad Arrive at Church in Medan March 19, 2011 Medan, North Sumatra. The North Sumatra Police's bomb squad was deployed to a church in Medan on Saturday, shortly after the church received a bomb threat. The squad arrived at the church at about 1 p.m. local time to search for any suspicious packages. Indonesia remains on edge after a series of bomb threats have rocked parts of the country this week. A Bank Central Asia (BCA) building at Serpong Road, Banten Province, also received a bomb threat on Friday. On Tuesday, four packages containing books with bombs planted in them were sent to Ulil Abshar Abdalla, activist of the Islam Liberal Network, Goris Mere, the chief of the National Anti-Narcotics Agency, Yapto Soeryosumarno, the chief of the Pancasila Youth organization, and Ahmad Dhani, a musician. The first bomb, intended for Ulil, was accidentally detonated by a police officer in Utan Kayu, East Jakarta, causing him to lose his hand and injuring two others. A plastic bag containing a bomb was also found in Cibubur, Bogor district, on Friday. In response to these bomb threats, House of Representatives Speaker Marzuki Alie urged the police to immediately unveil the perpetrators of the recent parcel bomb scare so that it would not turn into a political issue. "I suspect that the bomb terror is being carried out by a network rather than individuals judging by the targets," he said. Antara [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
