Bomb threats

Sika issued this warning after a bomb threat was issued at the Wagani District Court yesterday in Port Moresby.

He said police officers take threats very seriously, therefore, tough investigations will be conducted.

The latest threats bring the number of incidents to 69 in 27 states in the past month, according to the JCC Association of North America.

No bombs were found at any of the centres targeted with telephone calls.

Last week, 27 Jewish community centres in 17 US states reported receiving hoax bomb threats.

All of the threats made on Monday, along with previous incidents in January, turned out to be false and Jewish centres have since reopened with normal services resumed.

Spokeswoman Brie Ogle said Thursday that while the airline can understand the threats are generating a great deal of interest, it will not comment on rumors.

A bomb threat believed to be a hoax Wednesday night prompted WestJet to divert a Vancouver-to-Toronto flight to Calgary.

A flight on Tuesday from Toronto landed at Saskatoon following a threat. Police say no bomb was found.

A flight from Edmonton to Toronto was diverted to Winnipeg on Monday because of an unspecified threat.
