France reports school hoax bomb threats

By AFP

Three French schools received fake bomb warnings on Thursday, the education ministry said, after similar hoaxes in Britain, Ireland and Italy.

The ministry reported “three bomb alerts and removal of doubt this morning in three school districts”, without giving further details.

According to local media, the incidents occurred in the southern city of Marseille, in the eastern Jura region and in the town of Laon in the northeast, and led to evacuations.
