"A Bomb has been placed outside your home" Bomb and Rape Threats By Terrorist

According to BBC News, Classics expert Mary Beard has revealed she was sent a bomb threat on Twitter hours after a personal apology from the site's UK boss over attacks on women by "trolls".

Ms Beard, a professor of classics at the University of Cambridge, said she had contacted police after a message on Saturday night claiming a bomb had been left outside her home.
But on Sunday she was subjected to more threats through her Twitter account.
She wrote: "Planned to be off Twitter, but I've had more threats this morning (rape and worse). It IS still going on. Tried to report to Twitter, failed."

Ms Beard was threatened on Saturday night and reported it to police

She had earlier written: "Just got one of these messages. A bomb has been placed outside your home. It will go off at exactly 10.47pm and destroy everything. Told police.
"OK all, it's 11.00pm and we are still here. So unless the trolling bombers' timekeeping is rotten ... all is well. But how stupidly nasty."

Speaking to BBC Radio Five Live, the 58-year-old added: "There's something very strangely and awkwardly insidious about it.
"It is scary and it has got to stop.
"I didn't actually intellectually feel that I was in danger but I thought I was being harassed, and I thought I was being harassed in a particularly unpleasant way."

Caroline Criado-Perez and MP Stella Creasy have received rape threats

Earlier this week, Prof Beard silenced an internet troll after naming him on Twitter.
She retweeted the "highly offensive" post from Oliver Rawlings, who swiftly apologised after another user threatened to tell his mother.

Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman, Independent columnist Grace Dent and Time magazine's Catherine Meyer, as well as a number of other women, have previously said they have been the subject of bomb threats on the site.

Two others received threats of rape.
Tony Wang, Twitter UK general manager, posted a series of tweets on Saturday saying abuse was "simply not acceptable".
