New Orleans JCC briefly evacuated over bomb threat
[IsraelTimes] The Jewish community center in New Orleans was evacuated on Thursday after receiving a bomb threat, the latest JCC to be targeted, capping a week of similar scares at other US Jewish institutions.A phone call threatening a kaboom was made to the JCC at 9:15 a.m., Katie Steiner of WWL-TV in New Orleans reported in a Twitter post. People were allowed back into the building about two hours after they were evacuated. JCC staffers told another WWL news hound, Lyons Yellin, who was working out at the facility, that the bomb threat was a recording. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu tweeted Thursday that "anti-Semitism will not be tolerated" in the city and said the FBI was investigating. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-02-24 |
