The man, whose identity was withheld, allegedly called a lawmaker's office earlier in the day to claim he planted an explosive at the assembly complex, reports Yonhap News Agency.

He also said he was giving the tip-off only to the office.

Police traced the caller and arrested him on Ganghwa Island off the west coast about an hour later.


After the call, police, rescue workers and a bomb squad searched the complex, but no explosive was found.

The man was quoted by police as saying he made the call "out of sudden anger".

He was also found to have no record of entering the complex in the past two weeks, officials said.
