 Security forces evacuated a private school in Manama on Tuesday following a false bomb scare, an AFP correspondent said. The school principal alerted authorities when he received an e-mail about "a bomb ready to explode" inside the al-Bayan school, the governor of the central region in Bahrain, Salman Al-Zayani, told AFP. Security forces evacuated the school which the message said was teaching pupils "an American curriculum in an Arab-Islamic country." The forces searched the school for six hours but did not find a bomb. "It was a false alert," said Zayani, adding that the authorities were attempting to determine the authors of the e-mail. |
