Thousands of Italian schools received fake bomb threat emails that warned of a “powerful explosive” placed in a building, according to a report by Le Parisien. In the morning of Wednesday, 12 November, thousands of schools in Italy found a threatening message in their inboxes, allegedly sent from a Taiwanese account. The email claimed: “We are going to commit a genocide against the people of Italy,” and added that the sender had placed a remote-detonation explosive in a plastic bag inside the targeted building. The message was signed “Mikhaïl Andropov, head of the Vilayat de Misoginistan.” Officials said a total of nearly 7,500 schools exist in Italy, and 6,300 received the same alert. Several hundred schools were evacuated as a precaution. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said no “concrete danger” had been established, despite the threats also claiming that a bomb had been placed in her vehicle. The latest status of the case is that it remains under investigation, with authorities still assessing the threats and determining who sent the emails.
