Bomb threat to MDR: Police investigate after safety incident!

MDR state radio houses were briefly evacuated today after a bomb threat was sent to several locations by email. "The security of our colleagues is a top priority," said a spokesman for the station. However, the all -clear was given a few hours after the evacuation, and the transmission operation could be recorded regularly again, partly with a switch to the program from Thuringia, reports www.faz.net .

The police have started the investigation because bomb threats are considered "disruption to public peace by threatening crimes", which can be punished with up to three years of imprisonment or fines. Details about the incident have so far been limited, but the authorities remain active to clarify the background and identify possible perpetrators.
