Russian bomb squad rush to post office diffuse a ticking package... to find a vibrating sex toy
When a Russian bomb squad rushed to a post office to diffuse a ticking package, they were prepared for even the most sophisticated of devices.
But this daring mission climaxed in a rather different way than others had before.
As they tentatively unwrapped the parcel, they didn't find a time bomb but a pulsating vibrator.
Anti-climax: As the bomb squad tentatively unwrapped the parcel, they didn't find a time bomb, but a pulsating vibrator, like this one
The incident happened at Petrozavodsk in the republic of Karelia, northern Russia, after a nervous postal worker called in a suspect package.
A police spokeswoman told AFP: 'The post building was ringed by the security forces and people were evacuated.
'In the package the bomb squad found a vibrator.'
She said the sex toy appeared to have been turned on 'by accident'.
But the anti terrorist bomb squad's reaction is unsurprising given the recent suicide blast that tore through Domodedovo airport, near Moscow in January that left 37 people dead.
And in March 2010, two suicide bombers killed 40 people in an attack on the Moscow metro.
Russia is on high alert and scares and evacuations are commonplace in rail stations, airports and other public places in the wake of these attacks.
