A college student faces prosecution and jail time after he used an Internet bulletin board to make a terrorist threat against a singing competition.

Zhang, 20, a student of Beijing University of Agriculture, was angry after he was not picked to compete in the finals. To vent his anger with the competition, he wrote that the program would be subjected to a terrorist attack.

As a result, many students panicked and organizers had to postpone the event. Police arrested him and he's on bail awaiting the trial.
