Spinoff: has there ever been an actual bomb involved with a bomb threat?

Never made sense why someone would plant a bomb and then call and threaten

I believe the Irgun -- led by future Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin -- warned the British Army three times before finally blowing up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946.

I dont know..
But I think "The Bomb Threat" would make for a great stand up comedy club name.

I wasn't looking to answer your question, but give a rebuttal to your statement.
But I'll give you the easiest example.
The Motherfricking Unabomber.

From Wiki:

There are more bomb threats than incidents, with only 14 of 1,055 school incidents recorded from 1990 to 2002 being preceded by threats,[14] and an estimated 5–?10% of bomb threats involving actual bombs.[86] According to the Hunter-Howler threat dynamic, the group of people who make bomb threats is largely separate from those who attempt a real bombing, which typically occurs without warning.[16] However, in recent years, there has been a greater trend towards bomb threats manifesting as actual bombings.[87]

The song Zombie by the Cranberries was written about a bombing that killed 2 kids. I'm pretty sure the IRA called to let the police know a bomb was about to be detonated. I think it might have even been part of their normal bombing procedure to warn ahead of time.

Don’t think they call before detonating

If a bomb threat is called in by a democrat you got nothing to worry about. Now if a republican calls it in you better run like hell

Is this related to what’s going on on the political board the last 3 days?
