Three further bomb threats were received by US Jewish institutions early on Wednesday morning, with community centres in Atlanta, Georgia, St Louis, Missouri and Boulder, Colorado targeted this time around.
At least two of the threats came via email, with the Atlanta JCC not confirming how had received the latest message. All three of these centres have been targeted previously by hoax callers warning of a bomb.
Around 150 threats have been made against JCC’s and other Jewish organisations since the beginning of 2017, leading to regular evacuations. No bombs have been found, despite the wave of malevolent calls and emails.
In the wake of the latest threat, the Atlanta JCC released a statement saying that “the safety and security of our members, staff, and guests is always our top priority.
