Several international schools in Spain were checked by police with sniffer dogs while others did not open on Monday after receiving emailed bomb threats which the Interior Ministry said were a hoax.
A police source in Zaragoza confirmed four international schools in the city received the threat and that the French Lycee Moliere had not opened on Monday.
At least three other British-run schools in Madrid said they had received similar threats either last week or on Monday.
At least two international schools in Tenerife – a French Lycee and a German School – also received the threat and did not open on Monday.
El Mundo newspaper said a total of 18 schools in Pontevedra, Tenerife, Zaragoza, Reus, Tarragona, Villareal and Castellon received threats by email.
The email specified no reason for issuing the threat.
