Bomb threats shake educational institutions all over Austria

Von WOM

In Austria, a new wave of bomb threats has caused excitement. Educational institutions in several federal states are particularly affected. The police quickly gave the all -clear in all cases and continue to determine.

The affected locations include the federal capital of Vienna, Lenzing AG in Upper Austria, an agricultural technical school in Eisenstadt and the country house in Tyrol. The educational directorate in Styria was also the goal of a threat. Despite the serious incidents, there have been no discovered explosive -like objects so far, and the security forces were able to consider the hazard to be low. The police measures included searches, which, however, did not show any suspicious objects.

Details of the incident

In Vienna, two public institutions in the city center and in Vienna-Landstrasse as well as another building in Vienna-Donaustadt were target of threats. An email with the threat was also reported to the Office of the Burgenland state government, whereupon the pupils of the agricultural technical school had to be evacuated. A spokesman for the state police confirmed the events and reported on a quick intervention by the security forces.

The situation in Styria was similar: there was a bomb threat against the education directorate. The building was thoroughly examined, but evacuation was not necessary because the police could not find any sources of danger.

further developments in Tyrol and Upper Austria

Tyrol was also not spared: the educational directorate in Innsbruck received a similar threat, which was also sent by email. Again, no evacuation measure was initiated, since the executive assessed the situation as not very threatening.

In Upper Austria, Lenzing AG received a threatening email in Ukrainian, which was probably aimed at several companies. The group spokesman Dominic Köfner said that the threat was quickly processed and appropriate security measures were taken to inform and protect the employees.

The current events are strongly reminiscent of the previously occurred bomb threats, which primarily affected train stations across Austria. In this series, the police were able to research a 20-year-old suspect in Switzerland, which underlines the importance and urgency of ongoing investigations. The security forces now take extensive measures to protect citizens and maintain a feeling of security while they clarify the background of these new threats.
