CLEVELAND, Aug. 31 -- The FBI is looking overseas for suspects who have phoned bomb threats to more than 26 grocery stores, banks and discount stores in 17 states, including Virginia.

The callers have threatened to set off a bomb unless store employees wire money to an account abroad. At a Dillons grocery store in Hutchinson, Kan., the caller ordered customers and workers to take off their clothes and threatened to force them to cut off a manager's fingers.

I think this guy may have someone working with him in the states as well. Coordinating by phone or voip.

I recall hearing about a similar incident a year or two ago. Some wanker was calling convenience stores and fast-food joints and compelling the managers to strip-search employees.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind as well. Nigeria is the home of the scammer, the ransomer, and the get-rich-quick scheme.

“I’ll bet on Nigeria.”

My bet too.

They’ve given up on their stupid internet and mail operations, and moved on to something more lucrative.
