Bomb threats called into 4 Chicago hotels used for DNC: report
CHICAGO — At least four Chicago hotels were the subject of a bomb threat Tuesday on the second day of the Democratic National Convention, according to a report.
Police responded with K9 dogs to at least one of the hotels following an email claiming there would be pipe bombs at the buildings, Fox 32 Chicago reported.
“Police and K9’s at the Nobu Hotel in west loop … our news desk received an email claiming a pipe bomb threat at this and three other west loop / near west side hotels,” the local TV channel’s political correspondent Paris Schutz reported on X.
The threat was reported after anti-Israel protesters marched outside the convention venue Monday afternoon — with multiple activists arrested after tearing down a portion of a security perimeter fence.
The Chicago Police Department told The Post: “The U.S. Secret Service is aware of threats made to various locations in the Downtown area. Law enforcement personnel are screening the affected areas and examining the credibility of the threat.”
