Updated | Bomb scare across five schools
Police on site at five different schools after bomb scares reported • Sources tell MaltaToday that all schools received a generic bomb threat
Police are investigating bomb scares across five schools in different localities.
A police spokesperson told MaltaToday that five schools in the following localities have been affected: Naxxar, Sliema, St Julian’s, Ħamrun and Pieta.
A source close to the police told MaltaToday that all schools in Malta and Gozo received a generic bomb threat via an email from what appears to be a foreign IP address.
“All schools received the same email and the Naxxar Higher Secondary was the first to raise the alarm, which triggered the first response. Over a span of minutes it started becoming clear that the same email threat was received by all schools across Malta and Gozo,” the source said.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, home affairs minister Byron Camilleri said that one of the bomb scares was at Higher Secondary in Naxxar.
“The police, together with the AFM’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal, are on site,” he said.
