Several Austrian train stations have had to be temporarily closed in recent days due to bomb threats. A spokesman for the Lower Austrian company said the threatening emails were very similar Police News agency DPA. It is also worth noting that railway stations in state capitals have been affected so far. “We take the concern very seriously,” the spokesman said.

Accordingly, bomb threats came daily. St Bolton, Salzburg and Klagenfurt stations were affected on Wednesday evening, Linz main station on Tuesday and Graz main station on Monday. Everyone had to hang around for hours. All over the place, the police received email threats to detonate bombs at their respective railway stations. Austrian constitutional protection authorities are now investigating.

As the danger to the people could not be avoided, train services were temporarily stopped and the railway station areas were cordoned off for several hours. No hazardous materials have been found so far. State railway company ÖBB declined to comment on the matter.
