Train traffic in St. Pölten and Klagenfurt stopped due to a bomb threat
In Austria, times are tense because the bomb threats are piling up. On Wednesday evening it was time again: train traffic in the cities of St. Pölten and Klagenfurt had to be temporarily stopped due to such threats. This already represents the sixth bomb threat within a few days and gives rise to concern.
At around 10 p.m. the travelers were evacuated at the St. Pölten main station, which meant that the trains came to a standstill. This situation also reached the train station in Klagenfurt a little later. Just hours earlier, similar measures had become necessary due to impending dangers at the Salzburg Central Station and in the city center of Amstettner.Details on the threats
So far, it is unclear whether the threats were transmitted in these cases by emails, which was often the case in the previous incidents. The identity of those responsible also remains unknown. In any case, the situation had significant consequences for passengers, since train traffic on the Westbahn line had to be interrupted in St. Pölten. This was done against the background that the traffic there is already severely restricted by the destruction of the last storms.The police have so far not revealed any information whether all threats are based on an identical text or whether the same perpetrator may be behind these incidents. The investigation is in full swing to bring light into the dark of these disturbing incidents. More details can be found in a detailed report on Kurier.at
