Major broadcasters in
Ireland, Britain and Bulgaria were among those targeted in the
coordinated-looking scare, which came amid a wave of similar threats against passenger aircraft across the continent.
Authorities launched emergency security sweeps as employees were ordered to evacuate newsrooms and broadcasting facilities.
No explosive devices were discovered at any of the affected television stations, according to Reuters.
But the threatening messages were enough to bring operations at several major media outlets to a halt.
One email sent to
Ireland’s national broadcaster RTE and Bulgaria’s Nova TV claimed that an explosive device had already been placed inside their buildings.
“We want the whole world to know about us, which is why one of our operatives has planted an explosive device in your building,” the message read.
“It will detonate in 45 minutes. The clock is ticking.” TP
