MILAN — Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said Wednesday that law enforcement found no concrete threat after thousands of school buildings were emptied following an emailed bomb warning, according to The Associated Press via The Philadelphia Inquirer1.
Meloni spoke after meeting her Cabinet, intelligence services and cybersecurity officials, the AP report said, and described the messages as meant to cause fear and disruption1. Italian authorities were coordinating with other European agencies to find who sent the threats, it said1.
The same dispatch placed the school emails in a recent pattern of hoax bomb warnings that disrupted European flights and other institutions, with no suspicious items found and no injuries reported in those earlier cases1. It also noted other recent disruptions in Europe, including supermarket refrigeration incidents and drone activity near shipping, without tying those events to the school emails1.
The AP account separately recalled that Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said his personal data had appeared on the dark web and that Meloni had previously blamed pro-Russian hackers for that episode1. Who sent Wednesday's school emails was not identified in the report1.
