Bomb alert in dozens of schools in Italy, an anonymous email: 'We will annihilate you'

Bomb alert in dozens of Italian schools. The alarm was triggered by an anonymous email sent to schools in various cities.

Students and staff of the schools affected have been evacuated and the police are carrying out clean-up operations. A similar episode had already occurred in recent days with an email message sent to 280 principals.

A single email sent to schools across Italy triggered the evacuations. At the moment, over one hundred schools have raised the alarm but the number is increasing.

"We have come to annihilate you. We will carry out a genocide against the Italians" was written in the message signed by Mikhail Antropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan. The email mentions a "powerful device" left in the building inside a plastic bag "with remote trigger".

Around 300 schools across Italy have received emails with bomb threats, but the number "is destined to increase, the number of three hundred was around half an hour ago". The Minister of Education, Giuseppe Valditara, said this, speaking on Aria che Tira on La7. "They attacked flights, supermarkets, if I remember correctly even hospitals. It is clear that there is a strategy. It is difficult to imagine who is behind it at the moment. The services are obviously active to identify him. The judiciary will carry out its investigations but it is clear that we must protect ourselves and investments in security are fundamental", he added.
