2016-11-22 Home Front: WoT
Boy, 17, who called himself 'Ransom the Terrorist' caused chaos in US schools, TV stations and airports by emailing fake bomb threats from his bedroom in his parents' house near Liverpool
[DailyMail]
  • The boy was 15 when he started making threats online in September 2014

  • Calling himself 'Ransom' the boy told US TV station he was doing it 'for fun'

  • The FBI traced the hoax threat emails to an IP address in Merseyside, UK

  • In youth court today he admitted a total of 12 charges of making false bomb threats to airports, TV stations, schools and universities

  • But he is too young to be extradited
  • From a few days ago, but nice to know.

    #3 How about "Stumpy the Handless Boy", typing future threats in with his nose?
