As many as 50 bomb threats were made by anonymous telephone
callers on Friday, claiming that explosives had been planted along the route by
which Russian President Vladimir Putin's motorcade traveled in St. Petersburg.
All the threats proved false, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Telephone
terrorists made prank phone calls all day long," he said, adding that
about 60 phone calls were taken only on Friday morning. Reports concerned
some “50 or so bombs allegedly planted in various places, including the
ones located along the route of Putin's motorcade, or at the facilities in the
neighborhood of the places he was expected to visit.” Peskov said that
the 'telephone terrorists' have not been identified, and are likely to be based
abroad.
