The man was arrested for 24 hours and is a suspect in other three cases of false alarms.

According to the Romanian Police, the man recommended himself by the name “Said ben Laden” and announced on Tuesday evening that he installed two recipients with sarin gas at the aforementioned locations, prompting the deployment of special forces units. No threats were found at either objective.
