| Investigators say threats to Jewish groups in U.S. and UK are linked | |
| 2017-03-10 | |
Investigators said there is evidence that some of the US and British bomb threats are linked. According to people in both countries who have listened to recordings of the threats, most of the them have been made over the telephone by men and women with American accents whose voices are distorted by electronic scramblers. Waves of threats against US Jewish groups - including community centers, schools, and offices of national organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) civil rights group - have been followed within hours by similar but smaller waves against Jewish organizations, mainly schools, in Britannia, Jewish community representatives in both countries said. FBI officials in Washington confirmed that the agency is investigating the threats against US Jewish organizations. Sources in Britannia's Jewish community said London's Metropolitan Police, otherwise known as Scotland Yard, is conducting its own investigation and collaborating with the FBI. Scotland Yard did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment. | |
