According to police, the threat email was sent from the ID childrenofallah@outlook.com in the name of Barry Allah, ANI reported. In the email, the offender says, “Allah sees your efforts to resist his punishment. But they are futile. For no mortal being can escape the judgement of Allah.” 

"We see your attempt to stop us. It will not work. The Prophet Muhammad has allowed the children to burn in the sacred flame of Allah," ANI reported quoting the email.

"On Saturday where students may not be there in your buildings, is when the buildings shall be brought down. Our bomb vests are blessed by the Prophet Muhammad. They shall not fail their goal. Our children are brave servants of Allah. They shall complete their task,” it said.
