UNAM Reopens Economics Faculty After Bomb Sweep as Investigators Probe Anonymous Threats

Specialized police cleared the site following exhaustive inspections that confirmed no risk.

Overview

  • An anonymous message received before dawn targeted the Faculty of Economics’ Buildings A and B, triggering evacuations and the university’s explosive-device protocol.
  • The SSC’s Agrupamiento Fuerza de Tarea Zorros conducted technical sweeps for several hours and found no device, and UNAM resumed activities at 17:00 local time.
  • As a precaution due to proximity, the Faculty of Law suspended its morning shift and later announced a return to normal operations for the afternoon.
  • The incident followed a similar anonymous alert a day earlier at FES Zaragoza, where activities were suspended and inspections also found no explosive device.
  • Elements of the Policía de Investigación opened inquiries into the origin of the threats, and authorities are examining any link between the two alerts.
