[Seoul Yonhap News] Police have launched an investigation after receiving an email warning that a bombing will take place at the season opener of the US Major League Baseball, which is scheduled to be held on the 20th and 21st at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea. .
According to the Seoul National Police Agency and the Guro Police Station, the South Korean Consulate General in Vancouver, Canada received a report shortly after 6 a.m. on the 20th stating that they had received a threatening email stating that they would ``detonate a bomb during the match and injure players Shohei Otani and others.'' Sent from a staff member.
The email was written in English, and the sender claimed to be a Japanese lawyer. They are currently confirming whether the sender is from Japan.
Police are tracking the suspect, suspecting that the suspect may be the same perpetrator who sent threatening emails and faxes purporting to be a Japanese lawyer to major facilities in South Korea starting in August last year. Meanwhile, a total of 150 police special forces and riot police are planned to be sent to Gocheok Sky Dome to check for any dangerous objects. No explosives have been found so far.
