Thuringia: police operation after bomb threat at school in Leinefelde

Leinefelde (dpa/th) - Because of a bomb threat, a regular school in Leinefelde (Eichsfeld district) was cleared on Monday morning. A threatening email was received via a teacher's service email, a police spokeswoman said on Monday. In it, the sender demanded better grades, otherwise the school would go up in flames or a bomb would land in the office. The publicly accessible rooms of the school were then cleared and searched with special dogs. The criminal police are also on duty. The "Thüringer Allgemeine" had previously reported. If the dogs don't find anything, they assume that the school can be resumed, the spokeswoman said. The originator of the mail will be determined.
