The “gift” left under suspicious circumstances in front of a home in HCM City and feared to contain a bomb instead held a dog’s head and a piece of its bowels.

It took military engineers two hours to scan the strange pack.

Major General Phan Tan Tai, commander of HCM City Military Headquarters, stated that his military engineers were sent to defuse a possible bomb inside the strange package on the evening of April 5.

“However, the pack contained the head of a dog and also a piece of its bowels,” the general revealed.

They used a mine detector to scan the pack and the machine detected explosives inside. One military engineer commented that the mine detector gave a false reading for explosives because the pack was wrapped in glazed paper.

The building is rented by a woman from Dong Nai as a home and office for a real estate firm. Some creditors have recently come to the house to demand payment of debts, causing disturbances on the street.

Since the tenants have extensive debts, this strengthened concerns that the package was a letter bomb
