Police moved to evacuate the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg Saturday after pro-Palestinian thugs called in a bomb threat.
An email was sent to more than 250 people in government, including all the GOP and Democrat lawmakers of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The email warned of “lethal devices” planted around the capitol building.
The sender threatened to detonate one device every hour until Joe Biden went on national television to denounce Israel for its attacks on Hamas.
According to state Rep. Ryan Bizzarro, the email was captioned “My manifesto.”
“My manifesto,” the email began. “In the name of Palestine, I have hidden highly lethal lead azide devices in and around Pennsylvania State Capitol as well as the Pennsylvania Judicial Center.”
It concluded, saying, “I plan on triggering one device every few hours until Joe Biden goes on national television and publicly denounces the illegitimate state of Israel. Keep in mind I am inside one of the 2 buildings armed w/ a knife, and plan on remaining here to my dying breath!”
Can confirm. I’m tired of the foolery and unhinged behavior. Let’s hope they find this menace. https://t.co/Pou315jmEZ

According to Fox 43, the Pennsylvania Department of General Services sent out an email explaining the incident:
On Saturday, the Pennsylvania Capitol Police evacuated the Pennsylvania Capitol Complex and Judicial Center after a bomb threat was emailed to all members of the House of Representatives and Senate.
The Capitol Police immediately worked with House and Senate security, as well as the Office of the PA Courts, to issue an immediate evacuation notice to those in the buildings.
Following a comprehensive search, Capitol Police, federal, state, and local authorities determined there was no credible threat and the buildings were cleared to reopen.
