An online post threatening to bomb Jeju International Airport has led Korean police to search the airport and attempt to track down the writer, officials said Monday.
South Korea’s News Agency (Yonhap) quoted police officials as saying that the post was uploaded on an internet community Sunday evening, threatening to “launch a terrorist bombing attack on Jeju International Airport at two o’clock on Monday.” The writer said a bomb had already been planted at the airport and threatened to stab people coming out of the building.
After spotting the post, the police conducted a search of Jeju International Airport for two hours, but no explosives were found.
The officials said the police plan to deploy police personnel and step up access controls at the airport Monday to prepare for any emergency situation.
