Bomb hoax leads to chaos in schools at Kalpakkam

Tension prevailed for sometime on Wednesday morning near the Kendriya Vidyalayas at Kalpakkam following rumours that bombs have been planted in the premises of educational institutions.

However, thorough checking of the schools by the Kancheepuram district police had revealed that the threat was nothing but a hoax.

PTI adds:

Central security and police personnel went into a tizzy on Wednesday following receipt of a letter stating that a bomb had been planted in a school at Kalpakkam housing the high-security nuclear complex, over 50 km from here, but it turned out to be a hoax.

"There was a communication that a bomb was planted in the township in Kalpakkam. We conducted a through check with CISF, state police, bomb defusing squads and sniffer dogs. It turned out to be a hoax," a spokesperson at Kalpakkam nuclear power complex said.

Kalpakkam nuclear complex houses Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Madras Atomic Power Station and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor and other nuclear facilities controlled by the Department of Atomic Energy.

Police in Kancheepuram district, where the nuclear complex is located, said a letter was received at Kalpakkam post-office on Tuesday evening, merely addressed IGCAR, stating that a bomb would be placed in the Kendriya Vidyalaya school premises.

The seal was smudged and so the date or origin of the letter could not be traced. However, police searched premises of the Central schools in the area but no explosives were found, police said.

Worried parents thronged the schools as the news spread but they were assured that there was no need for panic and the bomb threat was a hoax.

Police pickets have been posted around Kalpakkam, sources added.

Woman pictured in Te'o hoax talks about perpetrator

Image
Two of the people linked to an expansive hoax involving Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o attended the same Antelope Valley high school, according to the Southern California woman whose photos were used in the ruse. Diane O'Meara, who now works in marketing at STN Media Group in Torrance, spoke to NBC's "Today"  about the incident in a segment that aired Tuesday. In the segment, she said she met the supposed hoaxer, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, in high school but added that the two were not friends. Paraclete High football coach Norm Dahlia confirmed to The Times that Tuiasosopo played quarterback for the Lancaster school in 2007. A Deadspin.com report published last week first revealed the hoax but did not name O'Meara. The report claims that Tuiasosopo used photos of a girl he met at Paraclete High School in Lancaster as part of a Twitter account for a "Lennay Kekua," a fake woman whom he connected with Te'o. "My name is not Lennay Kek...

Iran Denies Space Monkey Phony

Image
After Iran announced last week that it had launched a monkey into space, web sleuths compared before and after photos of the furry astronaut and cried hoax. They claimed the monkey that made public appearances after the space flight in a bespoke suit looked nothing like the animal that had been shot into space, which seemed to have lighter fur and a mole above its eye. Did a monkey die in flight, asked the conspiracy theorists? Or did no primate ever leave the ground? Now the Iranian space agency has stepped forward to clear up any confusion. According to space official Mohammad Ebrahimi, it's true that the pictures don't match, and that they show two different monkeys. But Ebrahimi said that's not because of a hoax – it's because the pre-flight photo of a light-furred monkey was actually an archival photo and not a picture of the actual animal, Pishgam, who rode the rocket. According to the Iranians, Pishgam took a 20-minute flight and returned to earth s...

College Place Police Call Walmart Bomb Threat a Phony

Image
COLLEGE PLACE, Wash. - College Place Police are investigating an apparent bomb threat hoax at Walmart over the weekend.   Saturday night, police say the College Place Walmart called 911, reporting a bomb threat the store received, set to go off at 6:19 on Sunday morning. Officers and the College Place Fire Department arrived on scene and evacuated the store just before 1 AM that night. Officers and firefighters stayed there overnight blocking the doors, and didn't allow customers or employees back in until 7 AM.   Police say 6:19 came and went, but nothing exploded, no one got hurt, and they couldn't find any sort of explosive device, leading officers to believe the incident was an apparent hoax. Police say they don't know who made the threat, and while they're looking into leads, they don't have any potential suspects yet. Walmart returned to business as usual after 7 am on Sunday.
