Hundreds of schools in Northern Ireland and Scotland have accepted e-mail threats Wednesday, causing concern in educational institutions and the activism of police, which has described threats as fraud.
The Northern Ireland Police Service has indicated that it is investigating threatening messages sent to schools throughout the region, while by now more than 300 educational institutions have reported accepting the same email.
Over 300 schools to date have reported to the police that they received the same email message containing a threat, the police statement said.
Deputy Police Chief Anthony McNally has stated that, given initial estimates, the danger to the public is currently considered low.
Similar threatening emails have been accepted by several schools in Scotland, while authorities are treating cases as fraud.
These incidents occurred at the same time when hundreds of schools in Italy were evacuated after accepting bomb threats via emails.
