5th Threatening Email from Japan... Terror Threats Against Japanese Embassy and Supreme Court

Another threatening email originating from Japan, claiming to have planted bombs at the Japanese Embassy and the Supreme Court, has been sent to South Korea. This is the fifth threat email, starting with a warning to terrorize Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea.

On the 16th, at the Sangyeok Office of Daegu City Hall, the police special forces and detection dogs are conducting a search for explosives due to a bomb threat email presumed to have originated from Japan.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 17th that an email was sent around midnight stating, "A high-performance bomb with needles has been planted. The detonation time is from 3:34 PM on the 18th to 2:07 PM on the 19th." The targeted locations include the Japanese Embassy, Japanese schools, the Supreme Court, subway stations, and city halls of Daegu, Incheon, Seongnam, Anyang, Bucheon, Ansan, and Goyang.

The police have dispatched special forces and detection dogs to the locations mentioned in the threatening email to search for explosives, but no suspicious items have been found so far.

The Japan-originating threatening emails have continued since the initial terror warning against Lee Jae-myung on the 7th. The emails were sent from internet addresses (IP) within Japan. The police have requested investigative cooperation from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and are proceeding with criminal justice cooperation procedures through the Ministry of Justice.
