Guyana hunts for bloggers after false bank report

The Associated Press: "GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Police in Guyana say they are looking for bloggers who caused alarm with a false report that a commercial bank in the South American nation had requested a $5 million bailout to avert a collapse.

The Guyana Bank for Trade & Industry said it fielded thousands of calls from worried customers after the Web site posted a report on Thursday that it was seeking government aid, which it said was not true. The bank said there was no mass withdrawal of funds and the government's central bank said the institution was sound."
