Police investigate as at least 125 institutions in Canada receive bomb threats

Over 100 institutions in Canada were emailed bomb threats on Wednesday, with the wording on the messages “seemingly identical” to those received by many hospitals and malls in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), India on Tuesday.

Canadian media reported that approximately 125 institutions, mainly linked to the Jewish community, received the emailed threats, which were sent early in the morning, around 5am.

However, a senior Indian official said they had not been contacted on this account.

The institutions threatened were in all major Canadian urban centres including Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Hamilton and Ottawa, where a hospital was targeted.
