Fifteen Year Old Detained Over Recent School Bomb Threats in Hungary
Police have detained a 15-year old boy in connection with bomb threats sent to 46 schools on Thursday, a spokesperson for the investigation told a press conference.

Monika Kesz-Varga said the sender of the threatening emails had been identified as a boy living in a small village in Hungary's north-east.

The suspect was questioned and admitted to having sent the emails "to terrify students so that they run away from the schools," Kesz-Varga said.

The police searched the threatened school buildings and found no explosive devices.
