expanding the scope of the threat of bombings in Europe; Editors of several media outlets received threatening emails.
The scope of bomb threats in continental Europe expanded to new targets on Friday, November 6, and after emails containing bomb threats were sent to the system of several media outlets, employees of these media outlets were evacuated.
Bomb threats warning that "time is running out" were sent to television networks across Europe on Friday, leading to the evacuation of buildings and the suspension of broadcasts on some of these networks.
The national radio and television network of Ireland (Artea), the British Sky network, the private Nova network in Bulgaria and several other media announced that they had received threatening messages. However, no bomb was found in any of the target buildings.
Broadcasting of Irish National Radio and Television Network programs was replaced by music and pre-recorded announcements, and some programs were interrupted for up to three hours. These warnings come after a wave of false bomb threats that disrupted passenger flights from Serbia to Finland, Spain and other European countries in recent days. These threats changed the flight path, emergency landings and security checks, although so far no explosives have been discovered.
These incidents also come as concerns about Internet fraud and cyber attacks have increased in recent weeks, including attacks on chain stores.
In one of the emails sent to the Nova and Artia networks on Friday, it was said: "We want the whole world to know about us. For this reason, one of our operatives planted an explosive device in your building.
The following message read: "This device will explode in 45 minutes. Time is running out."
However, it is still unclear who is behind the false threats on Friday.
