Only someone from the lunatic fringe could dare do such a thing in our country. Who would want to harm innocent people at a parking lot? Why was this device left near Office of the President at a time when a Cabinet meeting was in progress? We could ask many questions, but before we begin to do that we need to assess the alternative view.
There are people who find it difficult to swallow this story. To them the bomb scare could have been a drill by security officers meant to justify their presence at a time when people are questioning the millions of Pulas spent on the army at the expense of critical areas whose budgets have been slashed. Such hoaxes have happened elsewhere. We know of security organs that have blown buildings up and made it look like the work of the enemy while the aim was to sufficiently scare politicians into accepting that there is a security risk, which needs to be financially supported. We also know of the American security alerts post September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon that were unfortunately used to scare and control the minds of the American people.
