The e-mail from Switzerland that sent France into a panic, 70 fake bomb threats

There have been more than 70 fake bomb threats in France in five days, most aimed at airports and almost all sent by the same email from Switzerland, French Transport Minister Clement Bon said, estimating that this perhaps it is due to the avoidance of certain Union sanctions.

Bonn told the media that so far more than 60 investigations have been launched into false bomb threats. 

"Big idiots, even big delinquents", said Bonn, referring to the perpetrators of numerous false bomb threats , "Figaro" reports.

Bonn pointed out that, fortunately, there were far fewer false alarms on Saturday, the first day of holiday for many French people. The minister said that some of those people who send fake threats are playing bad jokes, while others really want to scare people and that sometimes there is a kind of competition in what he said is "crap between hackers".

"Everyone has a responsibility, including platforms and social networks, not to support this type of attack and to cooperate as soon as possible with the French civil aviation and our judiciary," Bonn said.

According to him, setting false alarms is extremely dangerous because it mobilizes security forces for several hours as well as forces people to evacuate, which in some cases leads to people gathering outside, which is also a security problem. In addition to the airport, several public institutions are also targeted by false bomb alarms. The Palace of Versailles was temporarily evacuated today for the seventh time in eight days.  

One suspect was arrested on Friday following an alert at the Palace of Versailles, while others were posted on a government website, according to police sources. France raised security to the highest level after teacher Dominique Bernard at a high school in Arras was killed by an attacker in a knife attack on October 13 and seriously injured three others.
