RTÉ’s headquarters in Dublin was evacuated after a bomb threat email was received, according to Irish police. The message claimed to be from a group responsible for recent aircraft attacks across Europe. Gardaí, Ireland’s police force, confirmed they are aware of the threat against media organizations in the country and Europe.
The threat was delivered via email, prompting an immediate evacuation of the RTÉ building. Armed officers rushed to the scene to secure the area. The message referenced a series of threats targeting aircraft in Europe, suggesting a possible connection to previous incidents. No explosives were found during the inspection.
This follows a pattern of threats against media outlets in Europe, with similar messages linked to past attacks on aviation. The group behind these threats has not yet claimed responsibility. Authorities are investigating the origin of the email and assessing potential risks. The situation highlights ongoing concerns about security in media institutions across the continent.
