Dutch boy admits made bomb threat against US banks AMSTERDAM, April 15 (Reuters) - A 13-year-old Dutch boy admitted he had made a bomb threat that prompted some U.S. financial institutions in the Washington D.C. area to close temporarily on Monday, the public prosecutor's office said. A spokesman for the public prosecutor said it had informed legal authorities in the United States that it had tracked down the boy, who confessed that he was responsible. ``We have the idea that the boy acted on its own and that it was intended as a joke,'' spokesman Wim de Bruin said, adding the public prosecutor would launch an investigation. U.S. law enforcement officials on Monday warned banks in the Washington D.C. area of an ``unspecified'' bomb threat made against financial institutions. The FBI's Washington field office said in a statement that it did not have any reason to assign a ``high degree of credibility'' to a threat that was received via telephone on Sunday from the Netherlands routed through a Canadian telephone operator. A downtown branch of Bank of America said it was temporarily closing because of the threats, and that law enforcement officials had been in and out of the offices throughout the morning. biz.yahoo.com I have to laugh at this! <g> A-M-S
