14 schools in southern Britain evacuated over hoax bomb threats
Thousands of students were evacuated from 14 schools across England due to hoax bomb threats, BBC reported.
The evacuations were made after six schools in the West Midlands region, four in London and four in the southwest Cornwall county received calls of bomb threats on Tuesday morning, the report said.

"At this stage there is no information to suggest the incidents are terrorist-related, however, inquiries continue to establish the facts," a spokesman of the National Police Chiefs` Council said.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police in London said that "the incidents are being treated as malicious communications."
