Cambridge Police In Harvard Square
[From article]
The anonymous bomb threat against Cambridge Schools made last Thursday night has been traced to an organization overseas, but a suspect has not yet been identified, according to police.
This is the fourth threat of violence made against Cambridge schools since November.
Unlike the other three, which were received through the anonymous tip form on the Cambridge Police Department’s website, the most recent one was sent directly through email to an “executive’ at the schools on Jan. 21, according to police.
“The IP address [used by the suspect in this threat] was associated with an organization overseas, so obviously we’ve contacted that organization and are trying to work with them,” said Warnick. “But one of the hurdles is that those IP addresses can be masked. So it could be someone locally using an overseas IP address.”

“It’s a tough time right now for the United States and around the world with threats, and it requires all of us to work together to keep students safe. People are on edge, and understandably so,” said [Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jeffrey]Young.
Police believe the bomb threats against Cambridge schools made on Nov. 16 and Dec. 1, as well as a threat of gun violence made on Dec. 3, were done by a single student. An arrest has not been made, however, and Warnick said Cambridge Police continues to work in collaboration with the FBI on the investigation.
