(Brussels Times) A court in Antwerp has sent a 24-year-old man back to jail for two years over a fake bomb threat sent out via Twitter last year.
In October of last year, a man identified as Wildi E. sent out a message on Twitter claiming to have hidden two bags of bombs inside a train between Belgium and the Netherlands.
The alert triggered an emergency response in Antwerp Central Station, with authorities searching three full trains before concluding there was nothing suspicious onboard.
The investigation revealed that the Twitter account out of which the hoax bomb threat was sent had been created the same day, Het Nieuwsblad reports.
