UNWANTED EXPLOSIVES CAUSE MOMENTARY SCARE IN POST OFFICE

( Editorial: --> 8053 ) VINKOVCI, 29 Jan (Hina) - A man informed police in Vinkovci on Wednesday that he had left in the eastern Croatian town's post office two hand grenades he wanted to get rid of. Police immediately evacuated the post office and went on a search for the grenades - and in this quest, via telephone directions, they were helped by the unknown caller! The police officers found the weapons in a shelf on a counter for filling in forms. Two plastic bags contained two hand grenades and four bullet clips, which were not connected to any explosives device. Vinkovci police said the man who left the arms obviously did not want to harm anyone, but wanted to dispose some illegal weaponry, however he chose a very poor way of doing this.
