Employees of the Federal Asylum Center (BAZ) found a written bomb threat on Glaubeberg on Monday evening. They immediately informed the Obwalden cantonal police. The head of operations, in consultation with the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM), ordered the immediate evacuation of BAZ employees and approximately 240 asylum seekers currently housed on the Glaubeberg.

The asylum seekers were transferred by bus to two other temporary asylum accommodations of the SEM in Central Switzerland and spent the night there. They are expected to return to the Glaubeberg today in the afternoon, the SEM wrote in a statement.

Search operations with explosive detection dogs

The Obwalden cantonal police were supported in the operation at the Glaubeberg BAZ by specialists from the cantonal police of Nidwalden, Lucerne, Zurich and Bern. The building was searched for hours with explosives sniffer dogs. No explosives were found until the early morning hours.

Because the search is still ongoing, the BAZ has not yet been released. The operation is expected to last until midnight. In addition to the police, the Sarnen fire brigade and the Obwalden rescue service were also on site. It is unknown who wrote the bomb threat. The SEM will file a complaint. The head of the Federal Ministry of Justice and Police, federal councilor Beat Jans, was informed about the bomb threat and the police operation. (no)
