Boy, 17, who called himself 'Ransom the Terrorist' caused chaos in US schools, TV stations and airports by emailing fake bomb threats from his bedroom in his parents' house near Liverpool
2016-11-22
[DailyMail]
  • The boy was 15 when he started making threats online in September 2014

  • Calling himself 'Ransom' the boy told US TV station he was doing it 'for fun'

  • The FBI traced the hoax threat emails to an IP address in Merseyside, UK

  • In youth court today he admitted a total of 12 charges of making false bomb threats to airports, TV stations, schools and universities

  • But he is too young to be extradited
    • From a few days ago, but nice to know.
