'Intel Ireland' evacuates factory over bomb threat, including dozens of Israelis
Intel Ireland evacuated thousands of employees, dozens of them Israelis, from its factory in Leixlip, not far from capital city Dublin, over a bomb threat on Tuesday morning. The Independent reported that a call was made at 6:30am (8:30 am Israel time) alerting to the bomb, leading Special Forces to conduct searches in the factory.
Intel employs some 4,000 employees in its new microprocessor factory. Over the past summer, some 50 Israeli employees relocated to the new factory in Ireland after Intel decided to build its new complex there rather than in Israel.
