Dozens of British schools close after terror threats

More than two dozen schools across Britain are shut following a series of threats of terrorist attacks.

According to British tabloid the Daily Mirror, thousands of students are evacuated in locations as far apart as Kent in the south and Newcastle in the north.

The report says that one school experienced “repeated” warnings that a bomb was on the site, whose “shrapnel will take children’s heads off.”

The paper also quotes a teacher as saying that a caller “threatened to shoot pupils and detonate a bomb.”
