No bomb found in schools search

Police have now completed a search of over thirty church schools in Prague following an anonymous bomb threat on Thursday. On the day, police received an anonymous letter, its author threatening to target school premises. A senior official at the Interior Ministry labelled the situation as "very serious" and heightened security measures were implemented with a number of schools warning parents to keep their children home on Friday. Specialists have now completed searches of the schools and found no signs of a bomb or any tampering, but the anti-terrorism unit will remain on full alert. At a press conference on Friday the police president made it clear that heightened security will remain in force over the next few days.
