- 13 years ago
- Australian bomb squad officers have managed to safely resolve a situation in which an 18-year-old woman is thought to have been attached to an explosive device for more than nine hours.
Streets surrounding a home in a wealthy suburb of Sydney were closed to traffic and emergency services were called to the scene as local media reported that a "collar bomb" had been strapped to the woman by someone else.
As the incident on Sydney's lower north shore entered its 10th hour on Wednesday night, Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch said the girl had been released from the device and reunited safely with her parents, said AAP.
