A bomb threat is a communication, whether written, verbal, or electronic, that conveys the intention to cause harm through the use of explosives or incendiary devices. Such threats typically involve a warning or notification that a bomb has been placed or will be detonated in a specific location, within a specified timeframe, or under certain conditions. The primary purpose of a bomb threat is to create fear, panic, and disruption.
Key elements that constitute a bomb threat include:
1. Explicit Statement of Intent:  A clear indication that the individual making the threat intends to cause harm through the use of a bomb or explosive device.
2. Identification of Target: Specific information about the location or target where the bomb is purportedly placed. This can include details about buildings, public spaces, transportation systems, or events.
