Italian authorities evacuated hundreds of schools nationwide on Wednesday following a wave of emailed bomb threats, marking the latest disruption in a string of security hoaxes targeting European institutions, including airlines and broadcasters.
Police and bomb squads conducted extensive sweeps across affected campuses as thousands of students and staff were moved to safety. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto condemned the incidents, suggesting the coordinated disruptions appeared to be part of a broader strategy to "sow terror."
However, he also dismissed the perpetrators behind the anonymous messages as "idiots" and "mythomaniacs," as law enforcement launched an investigation to trace the threats.
