#1 Update:

18-year-old reportedly has a bomb fastened around her neck, with a threatening note attached to it.

Initial radio reports claimed the woman was wired to the device and threatening to detonate it.

#5 Police believe the ransom note is attached to her neck but bomb experts have been unable at this point to read its contents.

No comment. I hope this ends well. Thank you, dear Oztralian.

#8 Better than the reaction of the last guy who had a bomb locked around his neck. The cops sat around making jokes until the thing went off.
