Los Angeles schools closed indefinitely over bomb scare

(ANSA) - New York, December 15 - All schools in Los Angeles were closed and lessons suspended until further notice on Tuesday following an alleged bomb scare, the Los Angeles Times reports. Local authorities told all 640,000 state school pupils and students to "stay away from campuses" and school buses were called back to base before they began their daily rounds. The alarm allegedly concerned "not one, two or three schools, but many institutes that have not yet been identified", according to school district president Steve Zimmer.
    All schools will be inspected, he added.
