Grenade Jokester Placed on Leave



The NY Post reports that fears of another terror attack gripped Ground Zero-area workers yesterday — because a numbskull at a financial-services firm had a “novelty” grenade delivered to his office at the World Financial Center, forcing the evacuation of two buildings.

The person who ordered the gag gift — which was mounted on a plaque that read, “Complaint Department, please take a number” (the number is attached to the grenade’s pin) — works for the Japanese investment bank Nomura Holdings, whose Manhattan location is the company’s American headquarters.

“A Nomura employee was responsible for bringing an inappropriate item into the building and that person has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation,” a Nomura spokesman said. The company declined to identify the prankster or his position at the company.
