苏格兰教育大臣表示，在全苏格兰各地学校遭遇新一轮虚假炸弹威胁邮件袭击后，公众并不面临风险，距离上一次类似警报尚不足一个月。
Scotland's education secretary has said there is no risk to the public after schools across the country were targeted with a fresh wave of hoax bomb threats, less than a month after a previous alert.
警方和政府均表示，至少有 1,000 所学校收到了这封虚假邮件，但邮件内容并无任何迹象表明存在可信威胁。政府部长迈里·麦卡伦在议会表示，事态“完全在掌控之中”。
At least 1,000 schools received the hoax email, though police and the government said there was nothing within them to suggest a credible threat. Government minister Mairi McAllan told parliament the situation was "very much in hand".
专业网络犯罪警官正在努力追踪信息来源，这些邮件同时发送给了小学和中学。
Specialist cyber-crime officers are working to identify the source of the messages, which were sent to both primary and secondary schools.
北爱尔兰的 300 所学校也收到了类似的“捏造”邮件，意大利的学校同样收到威胁。
Similar "bogus" emails were sent to 300 schools in Northern Ireland while schools in Italy also received threats.
苏格兰警方助理总警司马克·萨瑟兰对 BBC 苏格兰新闻表示，警方在大约一小时内即判定该威胁为恶作剧，并敦促家长不要让孩子缺课。
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Sutherland told the BBC Scotland News that the police were able to assess the threat as a hoax in around an hour and urged parents not to keep their children away from school.
他说：“首先，我明天会让女儿正常上学。重要的是我们要保持警惕，但不必惊慌。
He said: "First and foremost, I'll be sending my daughter to school tomorrow.
“我们已对目前掌握的所有信息进行了大量核查，没有任何迹象表明存在可信威胁，也没有必要让孩子远离教育场所。”他表示，警方认为该邮件与发送给北爱尔兰学校及英国其他地区学校的邮件出自同一来源，但对于幕后黑手是谁“目前下结论还为时过早”。
I think what is important is that we continue to be vigilant, but we are not alarmed. "We have carried out a significant amount of checks on all of the information we have gathered so far and there is nothing to suggest there is a credible threat and there is no requirement to keep children away from education settings."
他补充道：“我们将与英国各地及国际合作伙伴协作，开展统一协调的调查。”
He said officers believed that the email was sent by the same source as emails sent to schools in Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the UK but it was "too early to say" who could be behind it.
教育大臣告诉苏格兰议会议员，她已与警方和地方政府举行了会议。
"We will be working with partners across the UK and internationally to carry out a joined-up investigation," he added.
“作为一名家长，也是一名选区议员，我深知这对家长、学生、监护人和学校教职员工来说有多么令人担忧，”迈里·麦卡伦说。
The education secretary told MSPs that she had held a meeting with police and local authorities.
“我借此机会重申苏格兰警方的建议：没有任何迹象表明这些邮件的内容对公众构成威胁。”这位内阁大臣补充说，苏格兰警方及英国各地的合作伙伴正在开展“大量工作”，以“了解此事背后的动机和相关人员”。
"As a parent and as a constituency MSP I understand just how concerning this will be for parents, for pupils, for carers and for school staff," Mairi McAllan said. "I would take this opportunity to repeat Police Scotland's advice that there is nothing to suggest any threats to the public from the content of the emails."
BBC苏格兰台联系的大多数地方政府表示，学校正常运行，但也有部分确认已疏散学生。
The cabinet secretary added there was a "considerable amount of work" ongoing by Police Scotland and partners across the UK to "understand the motivations and the individuals behind this".
10月19日，当类似信息发送给全国各地的学校时，警方接到了300多个报警电话。在许多地区，因半学期假期学生本就不在校。
Most local authorities contacted by BBC Scotland said schools were operating as normal but some confirmed pupils had been evacuated. More than 300 calls were made to police when a similar message was sent to schools around the country on 19 October.
周三，邓弗里斯-加洛韦大多数学校收到了该邮件，部分学校作为预防措施进行了疏散。
In many areas, pupils were off due to half-term holidays.
该地方政府的一位发言人表示：“每个学校社区/环境都是独特的，因此都有自己支持和安抚学生及教职员工的方式。
On Wednesday the majority of schools in Dumfries and Galloway received the email and some were evacuated as a precaution.
“我们也知道，当地警方曾以社区警务身份前往一些学校协助并安抚。”在爱丁堡，昆斯费里高中被疏散，学生被送回家。高地议会证实，其旗下多所学校“决定启动应急预案”。
A spokesperson for the local authority said: "Each school community/setting is unique and as such has its own way of supporting and reassuring learners and staff. "We also know that local police have attended some school settings in a community capacity to assist and reassure." In Edinburgh Queensferry High School was evacuated and pupils were sent home.
格拉斯哥、爱丁堡、东洛锡安、阿伯丁郡和奥克尼群岛的地方政府也确认，其辖区学校收到了该信息。
Highland Council confirmed a number of its schools "made the decision to activate their emergency protocols".
在北爱尔兰，教育局（EA）表示，该“信息与上个月发送的一条虚假威胁相似”，北爱尔兰警察局（PSNI）当时将其视为恶作剧处理。
Local authorities in Glasgow, Edinburgh, East Lothian, Aberdeenshire and Orkney also confirmed their schools received the message.
北爱尔兰警察局称，该邮件源自英国境外。意大利媒体报道称，近日有280名意大利校长收到威胁。意大利总理梅洛尼已召集部长级高层会议及情报机构负责人就此事进行磋商。
In Northern Ireland, the Education Authority (EA) said the "message has similarities with a bogus threat sent last month" which was treated as a hoax by the (PSNI). The Police Service of Northern Ireland said the email originated from outside the UK Italian reports said 280 school head teachers had received threats in recent days. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called a meeting of top ministers and intelligence chiefs over the issue.
