Over 100 institutions in Canada receive bomb threats, similar to those received by Delhi hospitals, malls recently

The RCMP’s Federal Policing National Security Program is leading the investigation into the source of these threats. According to RCMP Sergeant Charles Poirier, their Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in Montreal is coordinating efforts and has reached out to international partners, including those in India, to determine if suspects have been identified and whether similar emails were sent to other locations.

The CBC News outlet, which reviewed a copy of one of the emails, noted that the message’s wording was strikingly similar to the threats directed at hospitals and malls in India’s NCR the day before. The email reportedly stated, “We have placed many explosives in your building. They are placed in black backpacks. The bombs are set to go off in a few hours. You will all end up in a pool of blood, none of you deserve to keep living. Everyone inside the building will lose their lives.”

These threats led to heightened security measures in major Canadian cities, including Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Hamilton, and Ottawa, where a hospital was among the targeted locations.
