Students and staff were sent home this morning after the Bahrain Bayan School received a definite bomb threat.
Al-Jazeera has reported that the Bahrain security forces have found and defused one bomb at the school.
No further information is available at the moment.

3rd bomb threat at bayan, apr 30, 2007
correction: apr 29, 2007
In fact, it was yesterday
see post 52
i still can’t see how this is funny or pleasant in any way.
im in bayan school the bomb threat is now a part of our every day life this is the 3rd time it happens and we dnt want to be dead bodys on the ground of our home school :cwy: :cwy: im seriouse the government should take this case further and tell bahrain about this and dnt lie.
I was a student at Bahrain school a few years ago. we thought it was fun when a bomb threat was called in and we were given the rest of the day off but what you don’t understand are the consequences behind it.
Many of the students are about to sit their IB exams and calling in bomb threats could jeopardize their futures. Bomb threats are not a joke, the amount of money the Bahraini police spend just to inspect the school is too much to be thrown away for the students who just want a day off. Furthermore a student was caught at Bahrain school for making the threats in 2002 and was expelled from the school. No other private schools in the country or universities will except a student with something like that on their record. I call for the severe punishment of the person making these threats because they have not only the put students and teacher’s safety but also people’s futures.
wallah, its embarrassing and it is bad for our schools reputation. On top of that , the work we missed we must make up, so that means more workload. This Bomb threat fad is getting old , and is a huge waste of essential time, and benifits of students and other poeple
People u might think thts its nicve and tht we miss skool and everything butt its not really tht fun, plusss just like wht # 58 said, its bad for the reputation and the work tht we missed out we will bee either finishing them during summer oo skool will be extended for couple of days maybe weeks, cause of the things we lost, plusss people are taking the bomb threat as a joke, its not funny anymore the first 2 times we laughed but now its getting old its pathetic
Another Bomb threat Today…
Its the Second one this Week . 4 th time in 3 yrs !
bs Its Driving us Crzy
yeah okay now im gettin pretty sick of bomb threats although i dont want it to end but if they wana do bomb threats it shud be every once in a while. it will be like tht story of the wolf where tht guy says WOLF WOLF n then they run out n hes not there many times he pranked him sayin wolf til he said it again n they didnt blv wen it was real
wat if there really is a bomb n the principle wil get SICK of it?!
honestly .. its gettin stupid n lame.. make one laaaaater but thanx cuz i needed time for my ba7th !:P :devil:
To those of you who are happy about this u should be ashamed of urselves this is nt something u should be proud of ..i hope that if this is a student they get caught and severley get punished by the skool and the police..this is no joke its a serious crime…whoevr thinks that this is an opportunity to kick bck and relax at home is an idiot …the students are the ones suffering nt the school so ur doing no good…nt 2 mention that we will eventually get to come 2 skool on weekends whether u like it or not….and i suggest that people stop spread rumours as these bomb threats are NOT REAL! so dont go on spreading bull. and to the girls who said that she wants to come 2 bayan skool becuz of the bomb threats im nt sure that u will get in with an IQ like THAT! ..this is a skool that has people who wanna learn and don’t appreciate these juvenile acts…bottom line these bomb threats were nvr found n now its getting pretty outrageous n TOTATLLY PATHETIC….
ANGRY STUDENT!
this is seriously becoming annoying
bomb threat spread to ikns and bahrain school as well
this is so annoyin! seriously, we have our final Ib exams and this just distracts us:) fortunately, the exams are stil on because the bomb threat was false. (we want to get this over with )
people please wait until we finish our exams.
thnx
Actually, what they should do if they catch anyone making a bomb threat is to expell the student. Expulsions here happen for such things (and even for plagiarism as well).
Bomb threats .
The person/persons that do such things should be punished as if it is a terrorist act. To theaten children ( or adults in such a way) Let the government punish them according to the rules of terrorist act and sentence them accordingly. Also those that know of a person that did/do these things should be punished if they did not inform authorities.
My personal opinion: I hope the people that do these things get a fatal stoke this very minute.
this is a Joke, there is no such thing as a bomb in bayan school, like 3 times in 1 week isnt that enough, who ever did this is cuz he or she does not want to do the ib exams.

reply to number 66…first of all..just so u know where my reply is goin..i hope YOU get a ‘fatal stoke’ i think u meant ‘stroke’ this very moment!!!! ur in the netherlands…as the flag shows…so i suggest that u keep ur opinion to urself cuz u have no idea whats actually happenin to everybody that is somehow involved in this situation…bomb threats been happenin for time in these schools and for some reason the authorities decide to punish a 17yr old… i understand the anger that IB students may be goin thru or the scare it caused them or their families..but am pretty sure they dint get THAAAAAT scared since history is jus repeatin itself….it was jus another few days break for them!!and the ib exams can be done sooner or later… the terrorist act does not apply to juveniles .. what they did was not right but dont u think ur goin a bit tooo far in this punishment ur talking about…check the law books…then post a reply!!!

Seventh bomb hoaxer held
MANAMA: The seventh student bomb hoaxer has been arrested and remanded in custody for seven days, said Chief Public Prosecutor Osama Al Asfoor.
The 19-year-old student of a technology institute admitted calling Ibn Khuldoon School from a coldstore in Muharraq after his friend requested him to call the school and confirm that the threatening e-mail his friend had sent the night before was genuine.
blah blah blah

I go to bayan school and they have informed us it was a prank and they gave us a( Snoooooooooooooooze) lecture. They were two people just about to graduate at our school. Shaf3i and budawi, they were with the group tht did the other bomb threat a ikns( Ibin khaldoon national school). Though they say the guy who did it called from muharq pay phone and ran away. Oh yea the police cut off the hair of one of those two( hahaha). Hope that gives you insite of the information. OH yea they do hit the firebell when not needed and and someone use the fire fighter just for fun.
Painterrrr!! hahahahahhaha #76 i think u kno who i am
duhh ,
who ever said about the bomb threat i wrong why would he do that he should think before he start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
i love bayan baaabyyyy!! 4 bomb threats and goin!!!
shood at 3 time bomb threatster be allowd bak to skool?
what you say whn it hpns?
In the beginning of this blog you mentioned that Al Jazeera stated that a bomb was found and defused, The above claims are all false seeing as how I, a bayan student have been informed of no such occurence, this bomb threat was the first of many pranks conducted, in the academic year of 2006-2007 we recieved three bomb threats, all of which were dealt with by the administration in the most appropriate manner. In all of the situations the students who conducted the bomb threat were identified and were penalized. I would hope that you would correct the above comments seeing as how they are misleading and demeaning to the school’s reputation.
These bomb threats are getting ridiculous. This has been the second incident this year.
Firstly, bomb threats are a waste of all our precious time. Secondly, bomb threats screw up our deadlines?
Whoever is sending in these bomb threats should think twice. He will be expelled from whatever institute he is attending and jailed.
Just wait..
You’re right, it is getting quite tiring and completely irresponsible. They need to make an example of the twerps who perpetrate it so that people won’t succumb to this stupidity.
I’ve just spoken to an irate parent who said that apart from anything else, it wasn’t fun to battle the traffic to get to school only to battle it again to take the kids back home!
I think our school needs to invest in a method to make sure that anyone who sends a bomb threat is caught.
It would help put a stop to this unnecessary waste of time.
