“Who could be behind hoax bomb threats to European air travel?”

“There is no hard evidence so far linking airline bomb threats to Russia, Iran or any proxy groups.”

Hoax bomb threats to European air travel; no hard evidence linking to Russia yet.

Key points

  • Most threats were deemed credible enough to divert flights, with Heathrow notably spared.
  • Authorities note a coordinated pattern and discuss potential links to Russian actions or hybrid warfare.
  • No conclusive evidence has emerged tying the hoaxes to Russia, Iran, or proxies as of Thursday.
  • An email to Rome airports claimed to be from 'Fighters of the Male State' but its legitimacy is unclear.
