Bomb threats against European flights ‘likely a coordinated campaign of disruption’, Ireland says – Europe live

The Irish government has warned against a “likely coordinated campaign of disruption” in a statement responding to the latest bomb threats against European flights after similar threats were issued against some Irish media organisations (11:22).

In a statement, it said:

“The threats made this morning against media organisations here are very serious. Hoax threats such as these cause fear, distress and disruption to people going about their daily lives and activities; they achieve no positive purpose whatsoever. It is not known yet who is responsible for these threats, whether it is individuals or a centralised or coordinated effort. However, these threats come on the heels of the ongoing disruption to aviation around Europe caused by similar threats, and it seems likely that this is a coordinated campaign of disruption.”
