已经对阿拉巴马州运输官员,执法部门和其他人构成了多种炸弹威胁,以应对主要的高速公路扩张项目的杰出领域计划。

Two emails, sent June 6 and 7 to Alabama Dept. of Transportation officials and local news outlets, said bombs had been left at agency offices, the homes of its officials, at offices of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and at the main office of the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa.

In a statement, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says it is aware of the most recent bomb threats, which are being investigated by the State Bureau of Investigation in conjunction with local and federal partners.

No further information was available as of June 9, as the investigation is ongoing, according to the agency.

该项目估计为7.75亿美元West Alabama Highway根据州DOT的说法

在迪克森米尔斯(Dixons Mills)镇附近,该州定于摩尔家族(Moore Family)拥有的20英亩和四所房屋,并通过杰出的域名拥有according to a family website。It is petitioning DOT to change project plans.

The first email said bombs had been placed in the homes of eight DOT officials, including Transportation Director John Cooper and Bureau Chief and Government Relations Manager Tony Harris.

“We are appalled that the Alabama department of transportation is trying to take away the Moore family’s homestead,” the email reads. “This is an abuse of power and you deserve to be killed for this.”

家庭成员told an NBC affiliate in Birminghamthey had nothing to do with the threats, and they were horrified by them.

“您希望我们继续这样做吗?”6月6日的电子邮件说。“直到您离开摩尔人,我们才会停下来。”

The June 7 email names mostly the same officials and locations, and both are laced with profanity.

The highway project is broken up between a design-bid-build first phase, the Linden Bypass near Linden; and a design-build portion of about 70 miles of highway and 25 bridges.

Right-of-way acquisition began in fall 2021, according to the state DOT. Project maps show the planned highway expansion crossing multiple lots owned by the Moore family, with multiple buildings within the future right of way.

The DOT is scheduled to award the project June 24.

迪克森米尔斯, where the Moore family lives, is north of Thomasville and near the southern terminus of the project. The family website argues that the state "only needs 94 ft from the existing asphalt to widen the lanes," and not the 190- to 225-ft-wide section that the agency currently requires. The family adds that 120 acres of the family’s homestead will be impacted, four houses demolished and 11 family members displaced.

"We are not opposed to the highway project,"a statement from the family says。“我们反对在还有其他选择时通过我们的社区将其路由;但是,如果必须在这里建造,我们反对国家提议采取的超额和不必要的土地。”
