A university student who posted a message on an Internet bulletin board in the name of Osama bin Laden, threatening to blow up Tokyo Tower, has been arrested, police said.

Police arrested the 19-year-old, first-year university student on suspicion of forcible obstruction of business.

Investigators said the student posted a message on the "Ni Channel" Internet bulletin board on Sept. 9, going by the name Osama bin Laden.

The message, which was written in English, threatened to blow up Tokyo Tower, Kasumigaseki, Akihabara and other places on Sept. 11. Police have charged the student with obstructing business of the company that manages Tokyo Tower.

The student has reportedly admitted writing the message from his computer at home. Police are investigating his motives for posting the message. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Nov. 21, 2004)
