A Shanghai man was recently sentenced to two years' in jail for making false terrorist threats, reports Youth Daily.

A jobless man surnamed Xu felt bored last September and decided to have fun by sending false information to public security authorities.

He then bought a cellphone with a prepaid card and sent messages to police claiming that he had planted explosives in the city. Later, Xu sent two floppy discs to the police, in which he again warned of explosions in the city.

Xu was caught on September 12.
