German Olympic Committee received same Sochi threat emails as Hungary
   
The German Olympic Committee said on Wednesday it had received the same emails threatening attacks at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games as its Hungarian counterpart and had forwarded them to German authorities.           

The committee's spokesman said in an email to Reuters that the mails appeared to have been sent widely.         

"We take all tips on security questions seriously and are in close contact with the relevant German authorities" said spokesman Christian Klaue.           

This as, the Italian Olympic Committee said it had received an email containing "terrorist threats" involving the Winter Olympic Games due to start next month in Sochi, Russia.              
"The Olympic Committee has sent the contents of the email to the authorities in charge of security," the body said in a statement.          

Also on Wednesday, the Hungarian Olympic Committee said that a letter threatening the country's athletes with a terrorist attack at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in Sochi was analyzed and declared non-threatening.                        

HOC International Relations Director Zsigmond Nagy told Reuters in an interview that the threatening letter was sent to the International Olympic Committee and the Russian organizing committee, which assessed it.                   

"Both the IOC and the Sochi organizing committee officially declared after the analysis of the letter that this threat is not real, and this person has been sending all kinds of messages to many members of the Olympic family," Nagy said.                    

Earlier, the Slovenian Olympic Committee said it had received a letter containing a terrorist threat ahead of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
