THE HAGUE - Armed police were deployed and schools closed in the western Dutch city of Leiden on Monday after an apparent student threat to "shoot my Dutch teacher and as many students as I can".

A decision was taken late Sunday night to close middle schools following a tip-off by Swiss police that a threat had been made on US-based website 4chan.org, where the anonymous message was posted over the weekend.
