Feb. 24 (UPI) — Police evacuated the Albany Jewish Community Center after 18 such facilities throughout the country received anonymous bomb threats via email over the weekend, said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo told reporters outside the Jewish center that police evacuated about 100 people from the Albany facility, which was then swept by officers and at least three police dogs after it received an email concerning a bomb threat at around 11 a.m. on Sunday.
