意大利教育部长表示，周三，意大利至少300所学校在收到相同的炸弹警报信息后疏散。此次安全警报发出之际，欧洲对所谓的混合战争威胁的担忧日益加剧，这些威胁的目标包括超市、血库、空中交通和电视广播机构。
At least 300 schools in Italy were evacuated on Wednesday after receiving the same bomb alert message, the education minister said. The security alert came amid rising concerns in Europe about so-called hybrid warfare threats which have targeted supermarkets, blood banks, air traffic and TV broadcasters.
教育部长朱塞佩·瓦尔迪塔拉对La7电视频道表示，这些警报据推测是恶作剧，并补充说受影响学校的数量预计还会上升。罗马一所学校通过即时通讯应用通知家长：“在收到全国范围的炸弹警报后，我们想通知您，所有学生已被带到安全区域，并仍在教职员工的看护下。”
Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara told the La7 TV channel that the alerts were presumed to be hoaxes, adding that the number of schools affected was expected to rise." Following a nationwide bomb alert, we wish to inform you that all students have been taken to a safe area and remain under the supervision of teaching staff," one school in Rome informed parents through a messaging app.
瓦尔迪塔拉说，受影响学校数量之多“表明这一威胁的可信度有多低”。据路透社看到的一封邮件副本，这封邮件的署名是“米哈伊尔·安德罗波夫，米索吉尼斯坦维拉亚特领导人”。同一名自称的发件人还声称对上周五发给爱尔兰和保加利亚新闻编辑部的电子邮件炸弹威胁负责。罗马警方一位发言人说，意大利警方正在调查此事。
The large number of schools affected "demonstrates how little credibility the threat has", Valditara said. The email was signed "Mikhail Andropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan," according to a copy of the message seen by Reuters. The same purported author claimed responsibility for email bomb threats sent on Friday to newsrooms in Ireland and Bulgaria. Italian police forces are investigating the matter, a spokesperson for Rome police said.
