Jewish community centers (JCCs) in Alabama, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Texas and Wisconsin were targeted, according to reports, in what is
considered the fourth wave of such threats thus far in 2017.Paul Goldenberg, director of Secure Community Network, said his office, which advises Jewish groups on security issues, "is monitoring the situation."
"It appears to be the same serial caller" as past incidents, Goldenberg
told JTA, adding that "the JCCs are very well-equipped to handle this."
Goldenberg would not confirm the exact location of the threats. Local news reports, however, indicated that the JCCs that received phoned-in bomb threats on Monday included the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
according to the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; JCCs in Buffalo and Amherst, New York,
according to
Buffalo News; the St. Paul Jewish Community Center in St. Paul, Minnesota,
according to the
Star Tribune; the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center in Houston, Texas,
according to the
Houston Chronicle; the Levite Jewish Community Center in Birmingham, Alabama,
according to the Alabama Media Group; and the Jewish Community Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
according to KOB-TV.
Each JCC was temporarily evacuated and closed, according to reports.
No bombs have been found on the premises of any of the JCCs.
Comment: Interesting. That might in part be why Sweden is being singled out in this psy-op.
