European TV channels, following the airlines, received mining warnings The Irish broadcaster RTE, the British TV channel Sky and the Bulgarian New TV, among others, received warnings. No bombs were found in the tests conducted in the system offices. It is not known who was behind the false threat reports. RTE and Nova received letters in the name of a certain Mikhail Andropov (probably a reference to the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Yuri Andropov). The author claimed that he was also behind the bomb warnings that airlines received in the past.
