From the Sofia News Agency:
A man and a woman have been arrested over a tip-off about a bomb planted in the United States Embassy in Sofia, police said.
The two, aged 32 and 38 respectively, admitted they threatened to blow off the building of the United States in the hope that it will be closed.
On January 24 at noon an anonymous caller, a woman, told the diplomatic mission that an explosive device has been planted in the building.
After receiving the tip-off, police found the woman called from a street telephone at "Cherni Vruh" boulevard in the capital.
The perpetrators, whose names were not disclosed, had borrowed money from people in the town of Blagoevgrad with the promise to get their US visas issued. By causing the embassy to shut down, they hoped to skip the chance to give them back the money.
