A Twitter account may be behind bomb threats sent to UK schools

LONDON — A Twitter account appears to be behind bomb threats made to 14 schools across the West Midlands, London and Cornwall on Tuesday morning, forcing several to be evacuated or temporarily closed

A handle going by the name Evacuators 2K16 (@Ev4cuati0nSquad), which has since been suspended, appeared to threaten forthcoming threats on Tuesday morning.

The account, which said in its biography "we are six individuals based internationally" and offered an email address for bomb threat requests, claimed it acted "everywhere." One tweet specifically mentioned the West Midlands.
