Hoax bomb delays delivery of exam results
A postal sorting office had to be evacuated today following a hoax bomb alert.
The alert at the Mallusk mail centre on the outskirts of Belfast meant that many 'A' Level students across Northern Ireland did not receive their exam results as expected.
Royal Mail said 75% of normal dispatches had missed their slot because of the hoax bomb alert and that it would be Friday before everyone receives their late post.
The hoax led to the evacuation of the building for two hours in the early hours of Thursday.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
