Hoax bomb threats force evacuations at thousands of Italian schools, UK sees similar alerts
Al Jazeera reported that on 11 November hoax bomb-threat emails were sent to about 6,300 schools across Italy, leading authorities to evacuate the institutions, and that Scottish and Northern Irish officials received similar messages they deemed non-credible. Earlier, CNN said hundreds of Italian schools had been evacuated after bomb-threat emails, and that the United Kingdom and Ireland treated comparable alerts as likely hoaxes.
