Hoax bomb threats emailed to 6,300 Italian schools and hundreds across the UK
Italian officials said a single email reached 6,300 of the country's 7,476 state schools on Wednesday, while private schools were unaffected. Police Scotland and the Police Service of Northern Ireland say the threats look like hoaxes, though some schools were evacuated as a precaution. Scottish police have told schools they don't need to evacuate, and cyber specialists are trying to find who sent the messages.
