LONDON, Nov 11 (Reuters) – A large number ​of schools ‌in Northern Ireland have been sent a threatening ‌email, ​the ⁠Northern Ireland ⁠Education Authority said on Wednesday, but they have ​been advised to stay ⁠open ⁠as the ​authority said police ​did not regard it ‌as a credible threat.

“The message has ⁠similarities with a bogus threat sent ⁠last ‌month, which ⁠was declared ​a ‌hoax by ​PSNI (police),” the ⁠Education Authority said.
