Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - SYDNEY — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese evacuated his official residence in Canberra for a few hours on Tuesday evening following a bomb scare connected to a Chinese dance and music group banned by Beijing, according to national broadcaster ABC.
A series of threats directed toward Albanese were emailed to members of the “Shen Yun” dance troupe in February, according to a newspaper connected to the Falun Gong religious group, which runs the dance company.
One email on Sunday claimed large amounts of explosives had been hidden around the Lodge, the prime minister’s residence in the national capital, the publication reported.
The email asked performers of Shen Yun to cancel their upcoming Australian shows or risk explosives being detonated.
Authorities refused to comment on the emails, only confirming they had attended an "alleged security incident" at the leader's home on Tuesday and "nothing suspicious was located".
