Bomb threat disturbs WC draw preparations

(GSM) – Cape Town was shocked by two bomb threats on Friday. Cape Town International Convention Centre, the World Cup 2010 draw venue, was temporarily closed following a bomb threat alert. Eventually, the police didn’t find any explosives.

The police were tipped by an anonymous informant who said that he placed bombs at two locations. Police explosives experts using sniffer dogs were called in to deal with the incident.

Security in Cape Town has been stepped up to cope ahead of today’s much-anticipated draw which will be attended by football figure heads as well as showbiz celebrities.
