One of the calls was answered in the school’s porter’s lodge. The person at the other end of the phone then declared: “Allah Akbar. I have placed bombs. I’m going to blow up everything. The connection was then suddenly cut off before another call was received by the school administration office, the police reported. This time, the person on the phone said, “I’m calling to tell you that something is going to happen,” before hanging up. The person or persons making these phone calls have not yet been identified.
