The offices of Voice of America are located on the 12th floor of Mega Plaza in Kuningan.
Remember when the Jakarta office of Voice of America (VOA), the official broadcast institution of the United States government, received a bomb threat last month? The police finally arrested the culprit who issued the bomb threat.
It turns out the suspect is just a teenage boy who was trying to pull a prank.
“The suspect is still under 18 years old and his motive was that he was just joking around,” said Unggung Cahyono, head of the Jakarta Police, as quoted by Tempo today.
The suspect is currently in Medan. Because he’s still underage, he’s in the custody of the Child Protection Commission (KPAI) in Medan before being flown to Jakarta.
The bomb threat came as a comment on VOA Indonesia’s Facebook page on January 10. It read: “The VOA office will soon be bombed!!! Beware you bastards!!!”
