Ladyshaver Sets Off Bomb Alert
Thu Sep 26,11:11 AM ET
HELSINKI (Reuters) - A buzzing ladyshaver in the luggage of the Finnish prime minister's wife set off a bomb alert near the European Union ( news - web sites)-Asian summit in Copenhagen earlier this week, Finnish media reported on Thursday.
The Danish police's bomb squad was called in after the driver of the car carrying the luggage of Paivi Lipponen heard a suspicious sound coming from one of her bags. The area was sealed off but did not disrupt the EU-Asia (ASEM) summit.
"It was suspected that there might be a bomb in my bag. But there was no bomb," she told tabloid Iltalehti.
Security was extra tight in Copenhagen for the meeting of representatives from 25 European and Asian countries, including many leaders.
Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen said police overreacted.
"Over-zealous policemen checked our bags with bomb sniffing dogs. Instead of using their sense they used something else," Paavo Lipponen told Ilta-Sanomat.
