Interior Minister: We know where false bomb claims came from
Skopje, 27 October 2022 (MIA)After a bomb scare emptied several Skopje schools on Wednesday and Thursday, authorities have found out where the false bomb threats were emailed from and are now working on finding the perpetrator, Interior Minister Oliver Spasovski said in a Telma TV appearance Thursday evening. Minister Spasovski said the false alerts may have been sent for “political, geostrategic, maybe even business reasons.”  “At this stage we practically know the emails. We know where they were sent from. We have this exact information, and we are working hard on finding the perpetrator,” Spasovski said. The interior minister called the bomb threats “a monstrous act” and added that they could be part of ongoing hybrid attacks on the country and the region. He also said they only confirmed the importance of stronger protection against cyber-crime. mr/
