At 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday, 312 Italian schools received the same e-mail: "A powerful explosive device with a remote detonator has been left in your building." Most of the affected schools were in Rome , but several other major cities also got the same message. Antonello Giannelli, head of the National Association of School Principals, said that it was "clearly the work of a hoaxer" trying to sow chaos. Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said it was also designed to "sow terror" for thousands of families. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's cabinet will convene an emergency meeting this afternoon, the Palazzo Chigi has confirmed.
