South Korean police investigate the fourth wave of "bomb intimidation" emails from Japan | email | police
On the 16th, the South Korean police reported that the Seoul City Government received another "bomb attack warning" email from Japan on the same day, but after searching the location mentioned in the email, no explosives were found.
According to the report, the Seoul City Government received two emails in the morning, with the sender claiming to have placed a total of 270 million explosives in government buildings and universities in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and other places, with plans to detonate them on the 16th and 17th. After searching the above location, the police did not find any suspicious items.
On August 16th, at the Daegu City Government Building, the police were searching for explosives.
This is the fourth wave of "bomb threat" emails recently received in South Korea from Japan. In the first half of August, Seoul City Government officials and South Korean media received threatening emails, including personal threats to Lee Jae myung, the leader of South Korea's largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, and "warnings" of "bomb attacks" in multiple places. However, the police have not found any explosives so far.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the sender impersonated a Japanese law firm to send an email. Based on the content, format, IP address, and other information of the email, the South Korean police speculated that the four waves of email threats so far were sent by the same person. The South Korean side has requested Japan's assistance in solving the case.
