Bombing Threats

Suggested by -SHINOBUC0RE

So in Serbia, there has been a few bomb threats that turned out to be fake, but there's still an issue.

(From Washington Post. It was the only thing I could get on my slow AF internet)

PRISTINA, Kosovo — Police in Kosovo reported a series of bomb threats to schools in Serb-dominated areas Thursday, which have been confirmed as hoaxes.

A police statement said about 30 locations received early morning electronic warnings or phone calls. It did not identify the precise areas.

In the evening police reported that all were fake alarms, including one at Pristina International Airport, which returned to normal operations.

Most of the country's ethnic Serb minority lives in northern Kosovo.

Police said they evacuated people from the threatened areas and sent in demining units to look for bombs. Law enforcement agencies urged the public not to panic.

Bomb threats in Serbia's capital, Belgrade, last month brought rush-hour traffic to a standstill. No explosive devices were found.

Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008. The United States and most of the West recognized its sovereignty, but not Serbia or its allies Russia and China.

Ethnic Serbs are Kosovo's biggest minority group and entitled to having 10 representatives serving as lawmakers in the country's 120-seat parliament, as well as in governmental posts.

The issue isn't just the bomb threats themselves, but by the amount that turned out to be fake. Meaning it would and could be harder to tell if and when a bomb threat is actually real. Meaning it could result in deaths.

Deaths of many innocent people. Men, women, children. Young and old. It would make some people think "It's just going to be another fake threat. We're fine." when tragedy really is going to strike. It's like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Except the attacker is the liar.

And I'm pretty sure this is also part of the UK vs Russia war? The same one that was making all of us think WW3 is going to happen.
Everyone just kinda stopped talking about it once the news about it was no longer "fresh and new". Which, with things like this, shows that we really shouldn't suddenly act like it's no longer "as big as we thought." It can get bigger. Plenty more people can die, plenty more fake bomb threats can be made until it no longer isn't.
