BOMB SCHOOL

Police urge ABC to ditch bomb-stunt report

Police Minister John Watkins has called on the ABC to abandon plans to show a current affairs report exposing how easy it is to make a Bali-style car bomb.
He has written to ABC managing director Russell Balding, arguing that to broadcast the story would be irresponsible, dangerous and insensitive to the Bali victims.
The filmmakers' aim was to show how everyday household chemical and fertiliser items can be bought over the counter and combined to make a deadly anti-personnel weapon.
