Police investigating after more than a dozen Jewish community centers targeted with bomb threat

Authorities are investigating after roughly 18 Jewish community centers around the country received bomb threats via email.

The Albany Jewish Community Center in New York closed early Sunday following the threat and was evacuated as police, who were notified around 11:05 a.m. EST, swept through the building, found nothing amiss, and cleared the scene.

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the threat, which was also emailed to several other Jewish centers nationwide, is under investigation and expressed his support for Jewish residents in his state.
