Bomb threats target multiple schools in Brandenburg
On Monday, September 9, schools in Brandenburg an der Havel, Potsdam, and Kleinmachnow (Postdam-Mittelmark) received bomb threats via email. The emails, all sent from the same sender, stated that explosive devices had been placed in the school buildings.
The events, which occurred on Monday morning, prompted a swift response from the schools. They took the threats seriously and quickly informed the police. The schools, which teach elementary, secondary, and high school students, were given the all-clear later in the day.
The following day, Tuesday, September 10, 13 schools in Brandenburg received similar threats. Despite a thorough investigation by the police forces, there is no specific information in the current search results identifying who was behind the bomb threats on that date.
It's worth noting that other right-wing extremist attacks and threats have been reported in Germany around the same period. For instance, the October 2019 Halle synagogue attack by a right-wing extremist and the involvement of neo-Nazi groups like Atomwaffen Division in violent plots and arrests in Germany. However, no direct link to the bomb threats on September 10, 2019, has been established in these documents.
A criminal investigation is currently underway to determine the sender and motive behind the bomb threats. The location of the events is in the Brandenburg region of Germany. The news source for this article is rbb.
Schools in other regions, including Hamburg, Thuringia, Saxony, and Saxony-Anhalt, also received similar threats via email in recent weeks. However, no suspicious findings were reported on site.
As the investigation continues, the identity of those behind the specific bomb threats on September 10, 2019, remains unconfirmed. The safety and well-being of the students and staff remain the top priority for the authorities and the schools involved.
- The bomb threats in the Brandenburg region on September 10, 2019, occurred amidst a series of right-wing extremist attacks and threats in Germany.
- The threats on September 10, 2019, against schools in Brandenburg were categorized as general-news due to their impact on society, yet they bear some resemblance to the crime-and-justice domain given the potential for harm and legal implications.
