(Adnkronos) – Threatening emails arrived this morning in the United Kingdom, triggering bomb alerts in hundreds of schools, particularly in Scotland and Northern Ireland, according to Metro UK. According to The Herald, all schools in Edinburgh were evacuated, albeit for a short period, and the alarm was also raised in schools in the Highlands. The Department of Education for Northern Ireland announced that an email message had been sent “to a large number of schools,” emphasizing that “the message has similarities to the false alarm sent last month.”
According to the press, over 300 schools received the email. In October, numerous schools had been closed after receiving an email reporting the presence of “explosive devices” that had been sent to hundreds of schools in Northern Ireland.
