The Post-Star reports that the Albany Jewish Community Center and 17 other Jewish Community Centers around the country were emailed bomb threats on Feb. 23. No explosives were found at any of the sites, and police evacuated about 100 people from the Albany Jewish Community Center, which was then closed the rest of the day. “These types of situations are so ugly and so unfortunate,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said after touring the center. “What’s worse is we’re seeing more and more of them. We’ve had about 42 incidents of anti-Semitism in this state this past couple of months so it’s not getting better. It’s only getting worse.” Read more about this story in the Post-Star.
