PATTANI — A bomb team sent to dispatch a suspicious bag left in front of a school in Pattani on Tuesday morning found a bag of sand with a coconut inside.

 

At 7:30am the director of Bantaladnadklongkul School alerted Special Unit Pattani officers to the presence of a suspicious black bag left in front of the school, which officials proceeded to poke with a long stick, finding inside a pile of sand and a half-kilogram coconut.

Bomb disposal 101, that.

Ahhh ... the old fake bomb in a coconut trick, eh! Fiendishly cunning devils. But they can't fool us - we know there's a real one out there somewhere. Search every coconut plantation immediately !!!!

 

Is this the one where Gilligan screwed up and left the bag behind???

 

....was it intentionally  placed....???

Swiss Family Robinson had coconut bombs.

They poked it with a long stick! How long was the stick?

Half a kilo of semtex would have wiped thew silly grins off their faces!

 

 

a decoy

Poking the bag with a stick without knowing what's inside it? If it had been a real bomb that might have set it off.
