New Bomb Threats Target European Broadcasters and Air Traffic

New bomb threats on Friday prompted further flight diversions in Europe and targeted several media organisations, including Britain’s Sky, Bulgaria’s Nova TV and Ireland’s public broadcaster RTÉ. RTÉ staff in Dublin were briefly evacuated after an email warned that a bomb would explode within 45 minutes. Ireland’s government said Virgin Media, Newstalk radio and The Irish Independent also received threats and suggested the incidents could be part of a coordinated campaign. Hungary said fighter jets escorted airliners through its airspace following threats against flights from Brussels to Sofia and from Prague to Bucharest and Cyprus.
