Bomb threats on Friday led to evacuations of several newsrooms in Ireland, including public broadcaster RTE, according to Deutsche Welle and The New York Times, after days of threats had grounded flights across Europe. The New York Times reports that Irish officials said the threats were probably a coordinated campaign. Earlier in the week, the group that claimed the Friday threats had also sent threats to airlines, an RTE reporter said. Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris said officials did not yet know whether one person or a coordinated effort was responsible. Dublin is hosting high-level EU meetings with about 50 European leaders expected, the Financial Times reports.
