Kriminalität: „Zeitalter der Unsicherheit“ – Italien rätselt über Welle an Bombendrohungen gegen Schulen

Roma, Italy witnessed a wave of terror as bomb threats forced the evacuation of hundreds of schools on Wednesday, leaving students, teachers, and parents in a state of fear. The threat was distributed via a mass email to over 6,000 schools. The government convened a crisis meeting that evening, after which Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni addressed the nation in a video, assuring them that the country would remain resilient and that the next day, children would return to school and go to work as usual.

Meloni firmly stated that no concrete danger had ever existed. However, her reassurance was short-lived, as another bomb threat emerged the following day, targeting approximately 1,800 schools. The sender remained the same as the previous day. In response, the government instructed the schools not to disrupt the regular schedule, maintaining that the threat was not deemed credible.
