Uruguayan authorities have dealt with at least six bomb threats over the past week, with university buildings and shopping centers having been evacuated. The bomb threats began on Saturday, March 22, when Montevideo Shopping Center had to be evacuated after a bomb threat was made in a telephone call. Authorities evacuated the mall, but no explosives were discovered. The next day, the Punta Carretas shopping center—also in Montevideo—received a similar threat.
