BOMB THREAT TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN SARAJEVO PROVES FALSE

( Editorial: --> 9045 ) SARAJEVO, Oct 16 (Hina) - An anonymous bomb threat which the Catholic School Centre in Sarajevo received on Friday proved false. A thorough check-up of the school building in Sarajevo district Mejtas was carried out by a special anti-sabotage police unit, Sarajevo Canton Interior Ministry spokesman Adnan Kosovac told Hina. No explosive or bomb have been found. It was obviously a false threat, he said. The Catholic School Centre headmaster Anto Mestrovic told reporters about 500 pupils had been attending class when the threat was made. After being informed that the police had been notified about the bomb we evacuated all pupils and teachers, Mestrovic said, adding the police had found nothing after a thorough investigation. All today's classes were cancelled out of security reasons, and will resume on Monday. Mestrovic said he was surprised by the event as lately the incidents and threats of last year had almost but disappeared. (hina) ha 161837 MET oct 98
