DUBAI // The woman who threatened to blow herself up in the Public Prosecution building has been named by Dubai Police.
Zulfiya Hamraeva from Uzbekistan walked up to the building's reception desk at noon yesterday, accompanied by her son, and demanded help in establishing his paternity.
She claimed the child was the product of an extramarital affair with an Emirati, and said if she did not receive help she would blow herself up. She was wearing what she claimed was a home-made suicide belt.
A team from UAE national security and Dubai police sealed off the building and negotiated with the woman until she gave herself up at 1.30am.
The bomb belt was later found to be fake.
