A 19-year old has admitted to making bomb threats against schools in the thousands, leading to the evacuation of more than 400 schools.
George Duke-Cohan from Watford also sent mass emails to schools across the UK and US informing them that pipe bombs had been placed on their premises, while being investigated.
In Luton Magistrates' Court yesterday, he admitted to making bomb threats to thousands of schools as well as a United Airlines flight travelling from the UK to San Francisco last month.
He was found in his bedroom at Watford's family home.

The teenager from Hertfordshire has pleaded guilty to three counts of hoax bomb threats.
Duke-Cohan (pictured) made hoax threats when he was under investigation for a second set of bomb threats.
Hundreds of UK schools were evacuated due to threats in March, with Duke-Cohan detained days following the hoax that claimed to be a mass hysteriac.
But while under investigation in April, he claimed bombs has been put in both American and British schools.
The fake bomb threats were discovered at the time to be part of an ongoing Minecraft gamer dispute.
Threatening emails were spoofed to look like they had been sent by a gaming platform known as VeltPvP - a Minecraft player-versus-player server.
Schools across the UK received up to 24,000 emails, including those in London, Bristol, and Humberside.
While on bail for threats to schools, Duke-Cohan contacted San Francisco Airport and their police officers to report that an explosive was on board.
Hacker group the Apophis Squad claimed flight UAL 949 was grounded for their actions in a tweet on Twitter in August.
Duke-Cohan claimed to be a worried father when he rang the airport, claiming his daughter was aboard the plane.
He told staff that his daughter had contacted him to inform him that gunmen had hijacked his plane and that one had a bomb.
Bishopsalt School in Uxbridge was one of the 400 that was evacuated because of the bomb hoaxes this year.
After being threatened, the evacuation of 400 students of Selly Park Technology College for Girls (pictured) was held in Birmingham.

After it landed in San Francisco the plane was detained by security personnel. The 295 passengers were then told to stay on board.
