A 63-year-old Dutch priest has confessed to phoning in a fake bomb threat to a Madonna concert in Amsterdam last week (ends03SEP06).
The cleric was reportedly upset about a mock re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ, which has offended some Christians during earlier concerts in Italy and Germany.
According to prosecution spokesman ROBERT MEULENBROEK, "He was hoping to stop her from performing her famous ‘crucifixion’ act." Meulenbroek said it was likely prosecutors would seek a community service punishment for the priest, since it was probably his first offence.
The priest was arrested almost immediately after making the threat on Sunday (03SEP06), since he used his home phone to make it, and he called an emergency services number where the call was automatically traced.
The two concerts in Amsterdam went ahead as planned on Sunday and Monday (04SEP06), despite a handful of protestors.
The priest was brought before a judge today (08SEP06) and has been released pending judgment.
Meulenbroek added, "We take bomb threats seriously, but in this case it was clear very quickly that it was not real.
"Maybe he should have to learn all of her lyrics by heart (as punishment)."
