JEDDAH, 20 March 2003 — Security personnel evacuated the main offices of Saudi Arabian Airlines here yesterday after an unidentified caller claimed there were explosives in the building, a spokesman said.
“After evacuating employees... in coordination with security and government authorities and taking the necessary measures, nothing was found” and it turned out to be a hoax, said the airline’s spokesman.
The caller told the telephone operator at 8:50 a.m. that a quantity of explosives had been placed on the fifth floor of the airline’s administrative offices in Jeddah. A major shopping mall in the heart of Jeddah was evacuated on March 8 after private security guards found objects that looked like dynamite sticks. It proved to be hoax.
This is the 2nd hoax in two weeks, how long will it be before we see the real thing?????
