Rome, 12 Nov. (LaPresse) – New bomb threats were reported this morning at several schools across many Italian regions, following the threats that reached thousands of schools throughout Italy yesterday. In Milan, an email received this morning at the Simona Giorgi state comprehensive school on Viale Brianza claimed there was a bomb in the building. The headteacher raised the alarm and, at around 11.30 am, the police dog unit and patrol cars arrived on the scene to carry out checks. The school was not evacuated. No statement has been issued by the headteacher from inside the school. In Naples, a similar alert was received at the Dante Alighieri school, whilst in Bergamo, pupils at the Giulio Natta school were evacuated but returned shortly afterwards. There was also a new bomb threat this morning in Molise. This time, the alert concerned Larino, in the province of Campobasso, where nursery, primary, secondary and sixth-form schools were evacuated. The headteacher, Emilia Sacco, ordered the pupils to leave after receiving a report from the Regional Education Office regarding the presence of an explosive device in the town’s state-run school buildings. The threat is reportedly contained in a new email, similar to the one circulated yesterday and bearing the same claim of responsibility. The Carabinieri from the Larino detachment carried out searches but found no explosives. The pupils are now returning to their classrooms. The incident has been confirmed by the mayor of Larino and president of the Province of Campobasso, Pino Puccetti, who is monitoring the situation.
