Suspected bomb hoax threats force fresh evacuations of Italian schools
Schools across Italy faced bomb threats for the second consecutive day, leading to evacuations despite no actual devices being found. Approximately 1,800 schools received similar threats, prompting panic. The Italian government advised against evacuations without concrete evidence. The threats may be linked to previous hoaxes affecting airports in Europe. An email threat was attributed to a supposed extremist leader, but investigations suggest it originated from a hacked account. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the situation as a strategy to incite fear. Parents are demanding clearer government responses and new safety guidelines.
