"There was an announcement over the P.A. (public address system). They just asked us to leave the building," office worker John Smith told local radio from a park opposite the building. "They said 'excuse me people there has been a bomb threat in the building, could you all please leave'," he said. Police said a hoax bomb threat was received "electronically" by workers in the 28-floor tower and around 2,500 people were evacuated shortly after 9.00 a.m., but a search of the building found nothing. "We are regarding this as a hoax. Each of the floors has been searched and nothing was found," police officer Frank Helsen told Reuters at the scene. One worker who asked not to be named told Reuters he and other colleagues received the hoax bomb threat via their voice e-mails when they arrived at work. The e-mail was time stamped 1.20 a.m. (1520 GMT) and simply said there was a bomb in the building. Police said the hoax was directed at the building and not any tenant. The tower's two main tenants are the U.S. credit card firm and Australia's largest telco, Telstra. Workers mingling in Hyde Park were nervous, but were allowed back into the building after about one hour and 45 minutes. Australian authorities heightened security around U.S. buildings after the September 11 hijack attacks on New York and Washington and again following the U.S.-led airstrikes on Afghanistan this week. ------------------------ Yahoo!
