Coordinated bomb hoaxes target schools across Italy, UK, Ireland

A coordinated wave of emailed bomb threats, signed by a pseudonymous 'Mikhail Andropov' claiming a 'Vilayat' affiliation, forced evacuations of schools across Italy, the UK, and Ireland on November 11. The threats follow a similar wave that disrupted European aviation last week, suggesting a serial hoax campaign rather than a credible attack. Authorities are treating the emails as hoaxes, but the scale and cross-border coordination raise concerns about disruption and potential copycat behavior.
