Arlington County police are investigating a bomb threat that led a pro-Palestinian advocacy group to relocate its annual banquet.
The Arlington County Police Department confirmed in a document Friday that they are probing anonymous phone calls threatening the Council on American-Islamic Relations event scheduled for Saturday at the Marriott Crystal Gateway.
“The terror threats came after CAIR updated its original banquet programming to focus on the work needed to support basic Palestinian human rights,” the Muslim advocacy group said. CAIR announced Thursday night that it was moving the event to an undisclosed location with “heightened security” after a meeting with Marriott staff concluded it was “impossible to safely move forward.”
