Australian Bomb Threat Schools

Police in Australia investigating threatening phone calls that led to the evacuation of more than 30 schools in recent days said on Wednesday they suspected the hoax calls originated overseas and were part of a sophisticated hacking system.

Thousands of students were evacuated from schools in two Australian states today following hoax bomb threats, with local media saying they could be linked to similar scares in Europe.
