POLICE found two illegal "bombs" in a raid on the home of Damir Dokic, government officials say.

The father of Australian tennis ace Jelena was arrested at about 2am Sydney time after threatening to blow up the Australian embassy in Belgrade.

An Interior Ministry official did not elaborate on the explosive devices allegedly found at Mr Dokic's home at Vrdnik north of Belgrade.

Seven hunting rifles and a Beretta handgun were also found in the home, with Mr Dokic holding permission to possess the weapons.

But a cache of .357-calibre bullets may also have been held illegally.

"Nobody can threaten the security of a foreign embassy," a Serbian government spokesman said.

The notoriously volatile father can be held for 48 hours without charge before he has to be taken before an investigating judge.

Mr Dokic had phoned the embassy in a rage this week after Jelena claimed in an interview that she was physically abused by her father.

He confirmed to Serbian newspaper Blic: "Yes I did call them yesterday and I told them I was going to fire a bazooka on the ambassador's car.

"I've had it with the lies they are telling about me from that country. Because of those lies, it has destroyed my family.

"I'm very serious about my intentions."

He insisted he had the means to carry out his threat.

"I have an arsenal of weapons in my house. I have a licence for all the weapons I have.

"I don't have a bazooka, but it is not a problem for me to get a bazooka.

"It is enough for me to snap my fingers and a lot of people are going to leave a bazooka in front of my gate."

Extra security has been provided to the Australian ambassador, Clare Birgin, after Mr Dokic's threats.
