Córdoba Sees Fifth False Bomb Alert in Under a Week

The Interior Ministry is reviewing repeated Tedax deployments to assess pressure on police resources following similar alarms in Ávila and Valladolid.

Overview

  • Police in Córdoba responded to a suspicious suitcase on Claudio Marcelo street at about 15:00 on Sunday and Tedax teams cleared it as a false alarm.
  • The Sunday incident was the fifth report in less than 72 hours after earlier suspicious items were found in La Paz, Ciudad Jardín, Ronda de los Tejares and the Las Cigüeñas service station.
  • In Ávila officers cordoned off Juan Ángel Nebreda and called Tedax units from Valladolid, and that situation remains under active examination.
  • A separate Valladolid alarm earlier in the week ended after a small controlled detonation by Tedax found only clothing inside the backpack.
  • Officials say the standard response requires cordons, evacuations and specialist inspection, and the Interior Ministry is studying the cluster because repeated false alerts can strain local security resources.
