Anchorage Jewish community center among bomb-threat targets

ANCHORAGE — An Anchorage Jewish community center is among those targeted in a wave of bomb threats around the country.

The Lubavitch Jewish Center of Alaska evacuated about 40 children after it received a phone call making the threat Monday afternoon. Rabbi Yosef Greenberg says a recorded male voice announced that there was a bomb in the building and that people had 20 minutes to clear out.

He says police arrived within minutes, and the FBI also responded. No explosives were found anywhere on the premises, including in Greenberg’s car, whose alarm began blaring around the same time as the call.

Police referred further questions to the FBI, which didn’t immediately respond for comment Tuesday.
