Zimbabwean authorities are on heightened alert following the reception of an email containing a “credible bomb/firearm threat” targeting the country’s airports. The alarming communication, purportedly from an unknown individual named John Doe via FASTJET AIRLINE, has prompted an immediate escalation of security measures and a thorough investigation into its source and credibility.
As a precautionary response, security systems throughout the country have been intensified, particularly at major airports. In a significant development, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has temporarily suspended his scheduled trip to address a meeting in the scenic resort city of Victoria Falls, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
George Charamba, from the Department of Presidential Communications, issued a press statement confirming the suspension of President Mnangagwa’s trip, citing the need for a comprehensive investigation into the threat.
The Information Ministry has further advised that Vice President Dr. Constantino Chiwenga is now officiating at the Southern Africa International Renewable Energy Conference and Expo on behalf of the President.
The unfolding events mark a critical moment in aviation security, and authorities are actively pursuing the necessary inquiries to assess the legitimacy and origin of the threat. This remains a developing story, and additional details will be disseminated as they emerge.
