Schools in N.Ireland sent threatening email but authorities believe not credible

A ​large ‌number of ​schools in Northern Ireland ‌have been sent a threatening email, the Northern Ireland ‌Education Authority said ‌on Wednesday, but they have been advised to stay ⁠open ​as ⁠the authority said police ⁠did not regard it as ​a credible threat.

"The message ⁠has similarities with a ⁠bogus ​threat sent last month, which was ⁠declared a hoax by ⁠PSNI (police)," ⁠the Education Authority said.
