Phone threat, someone didn't want to go in this morning

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/hundreds-of-employees-evacuated-from-irish-intel-plant-following-phone-threat-30902833.html

It is understood that a threat was phoned in to the company at approximately 6.30am and an evacuation subsequently ordered.

Gardai have confirmed to independent.ie that a "premises in Leixlip, Co Kildare, has been evacuated and gardai are at the scene. It is ongoing".

They just arrested a fella standing beside the vending machines.
Turns out he had a bounty on his head.

Wow, what a hyperthread this is. Hope they get to the core of this.

I remember an evacuation of a pharmaceutical plant due to one of my drivers breakinga fire alarm with a trolley accidently.. Thousands evacuated and a potentially huge bill for lost production.
Thankfully they didn't follow through with the bill.

my friend

when the 'instigator' is tracked down they will no doubt be granted FLA and their defence will be based on some piteous mental disorder.

Turns out the whole thing is due to the janitor having a smoke.

Apparently he was using white spirits to remove some paint when some spilt down his arm.

Without changing his clothes he lit up his cigarette, setting his whole left arm on fire.

A concerned employee called the gards, reporting an hysterical man on the premises with an arm alight.

What chips do they make there? Haswell? I could never find out for sure

I believe they've upgraded/are upgrading a Fab for their next generation chips. Fab 14?

Did I read somewhere they got the broadwell contract?

Maybe a disgruntled employee is trying to curry favour with a rival chip maker.

The Gardai are on site. They're gathering intel.

They're still processing all the information but will get to the core of it

A small explosion occurred in the car park, leaving an eight foot crater.

The gards are looking into it.

Everyone back in now, can't have been anything serious

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but it was always a hoax imo. Since when do ISIL do warnings about imminent attacks?

Bomb warnings went out with the RA

The call originated in either Roscommon or Westmeath, Garda technical bureau reckons it came from Athlon area.

The caller who made a "bomb threat" to the Intel plant in Leixlip claimed to be from the Islamic extremist group ISIL, security sources have confirmed to Independent.ie

He claimed that 12 devices had been placed at various locations across the large complex in north Kildare, but the scene has since been cleared and employees have returned to work.

They managed to search the place pretty quickly!

I'm sure the employees will have great difficulty processing what has happened

chrysagon

Ah they will chip away for the day, as they process their thoughts into whats happened, the usual Modem operandum, the keys to a successful job, but im sure the bosses will monitor the situation!!

I would have though the employees would be given the rest of the day off to process this.

At the cost of millions? Unlikely!

Intel would not be an easy place to gain access to. I've worked there, there's 24 hour security, a gated security entrance and seperate gated security into all the Fabrication areas. I'm not saying placing devices around the building would be impossible but it wouldn't be easy and I couldn't see people getting into the plant areas, personally.

No, I saw it but I thought he couldn't possibly be using the process joke again, seeing as 15 people above him had already done it!

Apparently ISIS have taken responsibility, but ringing in a Bomb Threat reeks of the IRA.
