Hesse: Unknown threatens to blow up the swimming pool

Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) - An unknown person threatened to blow up a swimming pool in Wiesbaden on Friday evening. After receiving the threatening call, the employees cleared the bathroom and called the police. About 250 bathers were looked after in buses and a neighboring restaurant, the police said. Several officials searched the pool area and were able to rule out another danger afterwards. Apparently, no crime was really planned. Nevertheless, an investigation will be initiated against the previously unknown caller. A police spokesman said he or she would be charged with threatening to commit a crime.
