UK broadcaster Sky receives security threat amid wave of bomb scares across Europe - Anadolu Ajansı

British broadcaster Sky said on Friday it had received a security threat, hours after Ireland's national broadcaster RTE evacuated its building following a bomb threat, amid a wave of threats targeting European flights this week.

Sky, owned by US media company Comcast, said it was among several media organizations that had received a security threat.

In a statement read out by a presenter on Sky News, the broadcaster said it had conducted a security assessment and reported the matter to the relevant authorities.

"The safety and security of our colleagues is our primary concern, and we are working closely with authorities to ensure our people and operations remain secure," the statement said, adding that it would not comment further on the matter.

Earlier on Friday, RTE said the threat against its premises was claimed to have been issued by the same group allegedly behind a series of bomb threats targeting passenger flights across Europe this week.
