INFORMATION RELEASE
Date: 2023-09-22
From: Lieutenant Krag Campbell
Case or Incident: #N/A
On 09/22/2023, at about 1:30 p.m., staff at the Juneau International Airport notified the police department that they were made aware of a bomb threat toward airports in Alaska. The original threat was made by email, with no specific location in Juneau. The email had been sent on 09/21/2023 but was filtered as junk mail, and not identified until today.
The FBI's office in Anchorage is investigating the report, but they do not believe the threats are credible.
Operations at the Juneau International Airport remained vigilant but were otherwise unaffected.
All factual allegations contained in this release are based upon preliminary investigation and are subject to change or clarification as the investigation continues. Any charges reported in this release are merely accusations and all persons named in this release are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
