Grenade Threat over Confiscated Cellphone

A Bosnian teenager is reported to have threatened to use a grenade to kill her father after he refused to return her mobile phone to her. Agence France-Presse reported that the incident occurred in the northeastern town of Doboj where police found the girl threatening to throw the hand grenade at her father.

"The 15-year-old was briefly arrested, but a prosecutor has not yet decided what to do," a police officer told AFP. "The most disturbing is that she did not find the grenade in her father's house, but she got it from somewhere else," the officer said.

The police say that the argument apparently stemed from a series of high phone bills."
