Jewish Centers in Several States Targeted With Bomb Threats

Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bomb threats targeted Jewish community centers in several states, but it wasn't immediately clear whether the threats were linked, authorities said Monday.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokeswoman Amanda Hils said in an email that the agency was aware of the threats and its field divisions were ready to assist state and local law enforcement.

Police said no explosives were found after bomb threats were received at the Miami Beach Jewish Community Center and the Jewish Community Alliance of Jacksonville.

According to The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/2janCAF), Miami-Dade Fire Rescue evacuated the Alper Jewish Community Center in Kendall, which had about 450 children and 70 adults in it at the time.

It never really ends. It goes underground for a time but like a disease it comes back.

It seems our society is getting more fractured, and this may be the new norm for any and all targets.

It is sad that ordinary republicans did not or would not see the ugly Nazi/Racist base feeling their oats.

This is and has been scary. It is not business as usual
